About this title

Review

With passion and fire, Max Lerner shook the foundations of the legal left and right, as demonstrated in this collection.” Digby Diehl, Playboy

A record of a wise temperament grappling with the substance of governing . . . Rare, refreshing, and well worth reading.” Boston Globe

It would be difficult for me to think of anyone who was more of a teacher or mentor to me. . . . [Lerner] used to joke that he learned everything he knew about philosophy from me, and I learned everything I knew about sex from him.” Hugh Hefner

"This notable volume collects a range of [Lerner's] essays, augmented by his reflective introductions. . . . His insights have not grown stale." —Publishers Weekly
