[Derrick Jeter · Rating 4 out of 5]

In this collection of speeches and papers, Judge Learned Hand offers some of his most provocative and insightful observations on the law and liberty. His speech, from whence the title of the books comes, delivered on I Am an American Day in May, 1944, is one of the best defenses for liberty I've read in a long time. Excellent stuff.

[Henry G. Nadeau · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm not an attorney and have never played one on TV. That aside, I really enjoyed this book. The material is dated, but it wasn't difficult to follow the legal writing. I rather enjoyed his use of language and I'm confident he did too! Each chapter is a seperate container of story so I read this over time in between other reads and didn't miss out on the writer's pace, etc., required by other books.
