""The Longest Night provides a comprehensive and insightful look at
our country's most fascinating election. The contributions from
political insiders are utterly absorbing. Sharply written and
edited; an impressive collaboration."--Susan Estrich, author of
"Sex and Power
"Arthur Jacobson and Michel Rosenfeld have provided a very
important civic service. Their collection of commentaries on the
disputed presidential election of 2000 brings all the confusion and
frenzy of that event into clear intellectual focus. On one level it
documents the most lively and informed reaction to the legal
aftermath of the election. But it does more. It contains a range of
erudite and well-reasoned interpretations, not just of the law and
court decisions, but also of political institutions, the
constitutional history, and the election itself."--Mary P Ryan,
author of "Civic Wars: Democracy and Public Life in the American
City during the Nineteenth Century
"The great strength of this book is its inclusion of
international perspectives on the American presidential debacle of
2000. After reading the insights of commentators and scholars from
France, Italy, Germany, and elsewhere, it becomes clear precisely
why, like an aging Humpty-Dumpty, our patchwork set of elitist
assumptions, idiosyncratic practices, and archaic democratic
institutions came tumbling down in Florida. It is too late simply
to put Humtpy-Dumpty back together again. "The Longest Night
reminds us that the United States has much to learn from those
countries that are boldly advandcing the future of democracy and
leaving us in their dust."--Lani Guinier, coauthor of "The Miner's
Canary: Enlisting Race, Resisting Power, Transforming Democracy
