"For a reader interested in the Supreme Court decision that contributed mightily to the Civil War, this is an incredible piece of scholarship. More amazing is that the author has written a highly readable and fascinating account of the events leading up to the decision and the people involved. An absolutely terrific piece of work."
"The late Don Fehrenbacher was one of the most incisive and industrious historians of the US during the 19th century. He exhibited that his great analytical and narrative skills were at their height in this entirely illuminating description of the Dred Scott decision, how the Supreme Court decided that case and how it effected politics during the 1850s. I doubt that many readers will finish the book burdened with undue admiration of Roger B. Tanney."
"This is an in-depth legal history of the Supreme Court case involving Dred Scott. Really fascinating and well-read. What stands out for me is that this case wasn't to determine whether or not Dred Scott was legally still a slave or not based on his specific case, but rather, the judges had to decide whether or not he had the right to sue someone or not. Pretty crazy and a fascinating read."
