Trade Review
"Bill Gilmore comments that [Judah P Benjamin]'s legacy is more as a distinguished jurist than as a somewhat flawed and controversial politician. That must be right; but, as told by Gilmore, Benjamin's is an inspiring story of what can be achieved by a lad o' pairts from humble beginnings. The book is short but engrossing, and comes highly recommended." -Sheriff Alastair N Brown, Journal of the Law Society of Scotland
