Abstract
This important book about the life and contributions of Brian Dickson (1916-1998), perhaps Canada's greatest judge, is valuable not only because it traces that life but because it analyzes one of the most important periods of Canada's growth to full nationhood. That makes this not just a lawyer's book, nor simply a biography, but a book of important modern Canadian political history.
