Book excerpt: The extraordinary story of a man who bestrode his era like a colossus, Hugo Black is the first and only comprehensive biography of the Supreme Court Justice of thirty four years, (1886-1971). Once a member of the Ku Klux Klan, Black became one of the most celebrated and important civil libertarians in the history of the United States and the chief twentieth-century proponent of the First Amendment. Newman presents us with the long odyssey of Hugo Black, capturing the man as he wasa brilliant trial lawyer, the investigating senator called by one reporter a walking encyclopedia with a Southern accent, and the wily politician and astute justice who led the redirection of American law toward the protection of the individual.
