Description

''In describing ''every'' Communist decision by the Supreme Court during the McCarthy era, Robert M. Lichtman illuminates the incredible breadth of the anti-communist programs and the injuries they inflicted on the individuals affected and the nation as a whole.''--Lucas A. Powe Jr., author of ''The Warren Court and American Politics'' ''A masterful piece of painstaking legal research and measured analysis. Lichtman demonstrates dramatically the vulnerability of our most revered national institutions in the face of strong political and popular pressures, while at the same time revealing an impressive array of legal maneuvers judges can use to stave off permanent wounds to our constitutional heritage.''--Patricia M. Wald, former Chief Judge, U.S. Court of Appeals, D.C. Circuit (ret.)
