Derived from a Kirkus review: A passionate rendering of the 1987 grass-roots coalition campaign to defeat the Reagan nomination of Robert Bork to replace Lewis Powell as Justice of the Supreme Court. Pertschuk, former Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, is author of Revolt Against Regulations and Giant Killers. Conservatives damned the anti-Bork campaign as an unconscionable politicalization of a process meant to be insulated from politics. Liberals might well be damning the campaign in retrospect, since the ultimately successful candidate for the Court, Arthur Kennedy, has proven to be more intractably conservative than Bork may have been.
