Reviews for Restoring Justice
"It was Edward H. Levi's first and overwhelming task as attorney general to end the cynicism of Watergate. This wonderful collection of his speeches shows how he did it: with eloquent words that expressed his profound belief in American values. In our time of meanness and strife, Levi reminds us what we should be." (Anthony Lewis)"
