Know about the book -

Brandeis and America is written by Nelson L. Dawson and published by University Press of Kentucky. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0813132568 (ISBN 10) and 9780813132563 (ISBN 13).

Originally papers presented at the Brandeis Conference in 1987, these essays--written by Dawson, David Danelski, Allon Gal, David Levy, Philipa Strum, and Melvin Urofsky -- provide an overview of the key elements in the life of this controversial SupremeCourt Justice: his political activities; his relationship to Felix Frankfurter and role as a New Deal advisor; his involvement with the American Zionist and Progressive movements; and his Court decisions. As Urofsky states, many questions raised by Brandeis 75 years ago are still of concern today, such as big government and corporate greed and social irresponsibility. Although numerous books have been written about Brandeis -- several by these contributors -- this offers a one-volume contemporary cross section of opinion and historical perspective.
