When Justice John Paul Stevens retired from the Supreme Court in
2010, he left a legacy of service unequaled in the history of the
Court. During his 34-year tenure, Justice Stevens wrote more
opinions than any other justice has. In THE MAKING OF A JUSTICE,
John Paul Stevens recounts the first ninety-four years of his
extraordinary life, offering an intimate and illuminating account
of his service on the nation's highest court. Appointed by
President Gerald Ford and eventually retiring during President
Obama's first term, Justice Stevens has been witness to, and an
integral part of, landmark changes in American society. With
stories of growing up in Chicago, his work as a Naval traffic
analyst at Pearl Harbor during World War II, and his early days in
private practice, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at some of
the most important Supreme Court decisions over the last four
decades, THE MAKING OF A JUSTICE offers a warm and fascinating
account of Justice Stevens' unique and transformative American
life.This comprehensive memoir is a must read for those trying to
better understand our country and the Constitution.
