Reviews
A lively and accessible account of one of the most important figures in American legal history. Zelden shows Thurgood Marshall's passion for equality under the law as he faced danger representing African Americans in segregated towns, successfully challenged segregation in Brown, and sought to defend equality as a Supreme Court Justice. - Mary L. Dudziak, author of Exporting American Dreams: Thurgood Marshall's African Journey Providing a valuable overview of Thurgood Marshall's importance in twentieth-century American history, Charles Zelden tells the story of Marshall's life and career with clear presentations of the legal and technical materials from which Marshall forged modern civil rights law. - Mark Tushnet, co-editor of The Routledge Handbook of Constitutional Law What this book does, and does remarkably well...is....synthesize a great deal of information-this is a book that covers both the man and the many legal battles with which he was involved-into a portrait that is sharply written, effectively organized, and impressively concise. This is no small feat. Zelden has given us an accessible and engaging introduction to Marshall and the central role he played in the legal history of the twentieth century. -Christopher W. Schmidt, Chicago-Kent College of Law
