William O. Douglas

Report on economic conditions, religion, the communist program of collectivization and its effect on the people.

This book, written by Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, documents his travels to the Middle east in 1950. It provides a view of what the Middle East, its people, their customs and political climate were like at that time, while at the same time providing a historical view. I suggest it for anyone with an interest in the area and its people.

"As the longest serving Justice in the history of the U.S. Supreme Court, William O. Douglas was known for writing a host of dissenting opinions. He was also a prolific writer off the bench, a man whose work was as much concerned with nature as with law.". "This collection brings together writings that represent the wide range of Douglas's interests. It includes selections from his autobiographical and political books, and opinions from landmark cases - all reflecting not only his love of justice but also his roots in the Pacific Northwest and his lifelong commitment to the environment."--BOOK JACKET.
