What is there to say? A great book by one of the greatest lawyers of the 21st century. Cox was the first special prosecutor in the Watergate scandal; his firing (along with the firing of Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus) by Robert Bork led to a strong public outcry against Nixon's heavy handed politics.
This book gave me interesting insights into Constitutional law, especially having read it some twenty years after it was published. I'm no expert on the constitution, but I found that it was very readable, very entertaining, and gave me a deeper respect for the Supreme Court.
