Recenzii
This volume is a fitting conclusion to Professor White's magisterial review of the history of American constitutional law. White began his career with focus on the formative era of our constitutional law in the immediate post-Revolutionary era. His work on the founding era is unparalleled, but he has now demonstrated that he has an equally sure hand for the description of the recent past. White's analytical skills and narrative mastery situate the present brilliantly in the past, and enable contemporary readers to historicize contemporary constitutional developments. The period under review in the third volume is as contested as any in our history, and this volume is an essential interpretation of the role of constitutional law in our deeply contested democracy. All Americans are in White's debt for this fine work.
Magisterial and sweeping, this history of twentieth century law is a master work of extraordinary scope and intellectual depth. The book addresses the major intellectual, jurisprudential and technological developments of the modern era, from war to globalization to the administrative state. This sets the backdrop for an extended analysis of the development of modern law. It should be essential reading for the widest possible array of legal scholars, from those who teach about the constitution, the administrative state, international law and jurisprudence, all of which play a significant role in the volume.
In this wonderful capstone to a multivolume series, one of the finest legal historians of our time shows how the legal developments of the twentieth century transformed the way in which Americans approach legal doctrine and policy as well as their conception of government itself. White's volumes should be required reading for anyone trying to understand the historical evolution of American law, for as he shows, this history continues to wield profound influence today.
