Overview
Overview
Historian, investigative journalist, and nationally best-selling author James Rosen provides the first comprehensive account of the argumentative, loyal, and brilliant conservative Supreme Court justice, Antonin Scalia, whose rulings and philosophies defined our legal era. Who was the real Justice Scalia? The son of an immigrant from Sicily. A kid from the streets of Queens. Antonin Scalia rose to the nation's highest court on the strength of his parents' sacrifices, grinding hard work, and an unwavering determination to defend the Constitution at any cost. In the first full-scale biography since Scalia's passing, legendary Washington correspondent James Rosen traces the astonishing life of "one of this nation's all-time greatest justices"--his loves and losses, struggles and triumphs, and the intellect and personality that made him a constitutional titan. This book builds on five years of groundbreaking research, unveiling previously unpublished writings by Scalia alongside dozens of interviews with family members, fellow Supreme Court justices, senior U.S. officials, and a collection of his closest companions. Deeply reported, brilliantly plotted, and as suspenseful as a novel, Rosen has written the best in modern biography: a rich and moving narrative of the man who changed American law and society forever, and the warnings he left for the nation today.
