Reviews
Marion carefully and objectively examines Brennan's opinions and writings . . . Marion reminds the reader of the more sober teaching of the founding generation who relied on a 'government of laws, and not men' for our political salvation., Marion presents a respectful yet critical survey and analysis of the thought of Justice William J. Brennan. . . . A welcome antidote to the hagiography so common in discussions of Brennan. . . . Recommended for upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty.
