CHOICE Review

Just when we thought that not another word could be written on the history of judicial review in the US, we are presented with a ``new history of judicial review from the Founding Fathers to the Burger Court,'' a study that ``carefully traces the origins, evolution, and transformation of this uniquely American institution.'' How this ``new'' text differs significantly from the scores of other texts and articles on the subject requires a fairly subtle mind. But since the book is new, the examples it provides are at least up to date, and the author's reinterpretation of the writings of the Founding Fathers and of 19th-century jurists might contain some novel insights. The book might have profited by a bibliography of the other works written in this area and from a more detailed subject index. The writing style is good. This work should be of interest to neophytes in the area of judicial review or to old hands who can abide yet one more reexamination of the subject. Upper-division and graduate readers.-R.A.
