Louis D. Brandeis is a figure of perennial significance in American
history. Brilliant lawyer, innovative reformer, seminal thinker,
and judicial giant, he left few significant issues in American
society untouched during the course of his long and productive
career. The last several decades have been particularly rich in
Brandeis historiography, creating the need for a work surveying
current scholarship and addressing critical issues. Brandeis and
America more than meets this need. Six distinguished Brandeis
scholars -- David J. Danelski, Nelson L. Dawson, Allon Gal, David
W. Levy, Philippa Strum, and Melvin I. Urofsky -- offer richly
analytical essays illuminating key aspects of Brandeis's impact on
American life: his relationship to the Progressive movement, his
involvement in Zionism, his role as a New Deal advisor, and his
significance in constitutional law. In addition, the book contains
a comprehensive survey of Brandeis historiography, a reference
chronology of his life, and an exploration of the deeply
controversial issue of judicial propriety. It should prove a
powerful stimulus to future Brandeis research. These essays not
only contribute to an understanding of Brandeis himself but also
cast light on vital political, social, and economic issues in
twentieth-century America, issues that are sure to be with us well
into the next century.
