Becoming Justice Blackmun: Harry Blackmuns Supreme Court Journey Greenhouse LindaPaperback
"A fascinating book. A page-turner."--The New York Times Book ReviewIn this acclaimed biography, Linda Greenhouse of The New York Times draws back the curtain on America's most private branch of government, the Supreme Court. In clear and forceful prose, Becoming Justice Blackmun tells a judicial Horatio Alger story and a tale of a remarkable transformation . . .
Blackmun (1908-99), the man behind numerous landmark Supreme Court decisions, including Roe v. Greenhouse was the first print reporter to have access to the extensive archives of Justice Harry A. Wade.Through the lens of Blackmun's private and public papers, Greenhouse crafts a compelling portrait of a man who, from 1970 to 1994, ruled on such controversial issues as abortion, the death penalty, and sex discrimination yet never lost sight of the human beings behind the legal cases.
