Sommario/riassunto |
|
Hugo Black's odyssey began in 1886 in the Alabama hill country and ended in 1971, when Americans were demonstrating in the streets. As a United States Senator from 1927 to 1937, and then for thirty-four years on the United States Supreme Court as its most passionate civil libertarian, Black fought for the rights and welfare of all people. More than a decade in the making, this moving, instructive biography is written with grace, sweep, and verve. Newman conducted more than one thousand interviews, and has drawn upon an astonishing array of other sources, including Black's family papers, to which he had exclusive access. Hugo Black is the extraordinary story of a man who bestrode his era like a colossus. |
