Book Review

The Constitution and the New Deal. By G. Edward White. (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2000. xii, 385 pp. $45.00, ISBN 0-674-00341-1.)

G. Edward White, one of the most prolific and intelligent legal historians of his generation, whose scholarship has enriched our understanding of tort liability, the Marshall court, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., Earl Warren, and baseball, to mention only a few of his major monographs, has now turned his mind in this volume to one of the longest-running debates in the field: the constitutional politics of the Great Depression years, the era of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Supreme Court under Charles Evans Hughes. This is a topic that for more than a half century has attracted some of the most fertile minds in American history and political science, including Edward Corwin, Robert McCloskey, Alpheus Mason, Paul Murphy, William Leuchtenburg, Bruce Ackerman, Richard Friedman, and Barry Cushman, to say nothing of the more polemical inquiries by Robert Jackson, Joseph Alsop, Turner Catledge, and Fred Rodell. . . .
