A truly distinguished work on Brandeis that at last will portray the man in all his magnificent range and versatility, as well as his humanity and intellectual qualities... A major contribution to American biography and history... Strum has obviously written this from her heart as well as from her head, and the combination of approaches, so peculiarly appropriate for Brandeis, gives a sense of vitality and consequence to almost every page of the book. I expect it will take its place as the major work on Brandeis for years to come.
