Secret Constitution Book - Our Secret Constitution--How Lincoln Redefined American Democracy

This is a must read for lawyers--we wouldn't carry it unless we really thought so.

The basic point of the book is that the US emerged from the Civil War with a second constitution--radically different from the first. The author, George Fletcher, is the Cardozo Professor of Jurisprudence at Columbia Law School. He asserts and shows that the civil war was the most significant event in American LEGAL history.

The book is written with passion, clarity, and sweeping historical knowledge. The book fundamentally changes the way we view our past and brings new clarity to many issues we face today.

Hardback. 292 pages. Published 2001.
