"Johnson brings the case alive. What had been a canonical citation becomes a drama of fascinating characters, changing technology, fortunes to be made, and, most of all, power. A substantial achievement."--Paul Kahn, author of The Reign of Law: Marbury v. Madison and the Construction of America
"A masterful account. Learned but accessible, eloquent, and engaging. As Johnson justifiably emphasizes, John Marshall's 'broad and catholic' opinion for the Court in Gibbons laid down principles of law and economic regulation that were both necessary at the time and remain vital today. Johnson displays his customary encyclopedic knowledge of the people, events, and cases that shaped this nation."--Mark R. Killenbeck, author of M'Culloch v. Maryland: Securing a Nation
"A masterful analysis, sprinkled with keen original insights. Johnson's treatment of the Court's inner workings and Chief Justice Marshall's changed style of leadership is especially illuminating. There is much here for beginning students and for seasoned scholars as well."--R. Kent Newmyer, author of The Supreme Court under Marshall and Taney and John Marshall and the Heroic Age of the Supreme Court
