Louis Marshall: Champion of Liberty, edited by Charles Reznikoff
- Abstract
It is one hundred and one years since Louis Marshall—one of the founders of the American Jewish Committee and its president from 1912 to 1929—was born and almost thirty years since he died, and a new generation that knows him not has grown up; but these two volumes of Marshall’s selected letters, memoranda, briefs, and addresses—competently edited, attractively published, and ably introduced (by Oscar Handlin)—remove any excuse for future ignorance. The size of the volumes is, admittedly, formidable—the work is almost as long as War and Peace; yet the lasting importance of Marshall’s accomplishments amply warrants the time it takes to read the six hundred thousand words.
