"Elman provides a behind-the-scenes view of government and shares his keen insights into the justices of the Supreme Court. Sibler, in turn, provides an informative commentary at the end of each chapter, annotating cases and identifying individuals, thus expanding on Elman's words. The reader who is unfamiliar with Philip Elman or the law need not fear that this book will be beyond his reach. . . . This is a book for those interested in law, social policy, government and achievement, but it is also about a thinking individual's life. It is worth reading."
