Trade Review
“Philippa Strum is arguably the leading Brandeis scholar of the last fifty years. Justice Brandeis’s opinion in Whitney v. California is arguably the most inspiring and enduring judicial account ever of the reasons for a strong free speech principle. It seems only natural that Philippa Strum should write the definitive book on Whitney v. California. And she has done just that.” Vincent Blasi, Corliss Lamont Professor of Civil Liberties at Columbia Law School

“Philippa Strum tells a fascinating story about a familiar and famous case, providing the social and political background missing from most accounts, while, at the same time, making the constitutional arguments alive and relevant. A errific read.” H. N. Hirsch, Professor of Politics and Comparative American Studies at Oberlin College.
