The Career of Brandeis
Villard, Oswald Garrison | October 10, 1936 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the book "Brandeis. The Personal History of an American Ideal," by Alfred Lief. The author has done a serious and searching study of judge Louis D. Brandeis's career, apropos probably of his subject's fast-approaching eightieth birthday. That Lief writes with prejudice in favor of his subject, is evident. Yet it is also true that he has presented the other side of the unending controversies in which the judge played a part until he went on the U.S. Supreme Court. He has given to the fight against Brandeis's confirmation as justice no less than fifty-one pages, two chapters and has scrupulously repeated the arguments against the confirmation, not omitting the assaults upon Brandeis's personal character.
