In rich detail, John Paul Stevens, tells the story of a Navy
veteran, lawyer, judge and justice who has shaped American law for
over three decades. It is a valuable window in Justice Stevens's
often-unpredictable understanding of the Constitution and the
law.--John Podesta, President and CEO of the Center for American
Progress and former White House Chief of Staff to President William
J. Clinton
John Paul Stevens' judicial philosophy may be hard to label but his
integrity is rock solid. A lifetime in the law and the courage to
speak his mind (see Bush v. Gore) make him a national treasure on
our highest court.--Richard J. Durbin, United States Senator An
excellent, well-written, and fascinating book that does a fabulous
job of presenting Justice Stevens's biography in all its complexity
and multiple dimensions. I learned a remarkable amount about
Justice Stevens that I had not known before.--Bernard Harcourt, The
University of Chicago
Terrific.--Jeffrey Toobin, author of The Nine Justice John Paul
Stevens combines a towering intellect with courageous independence.
Bill Barnhart and Gene Schlickman combine their exhaustive research
with insightful analysis to give readers a splendid biography of
the Supreme Court's most respected member.--Newton N. Minow, former
FCC chairman A completely original and readable approach that
connects the life and career of a future Supreme Court justice with
his distinguished contributions on the Court. A new direction for
legal scholarship and a great service to our democracy.--Gary T.
Johnson, President, Chicago History Museum
