The Judiciary in American Democracy succeeds at providing a wonderful set of readings that bring Bickel's work to life and that note his importance to scholarship on judicial review, constitutional interpretation, and, more broadly, the notion of separation of powers in a constitutional system. It shreds the rather simplistic notions that some people have of judicial restraint and judicial activism. This is a significant work on a true giant in the field of constitutional studies, law, and courts.
