Publisher's Synopsis
""The Path We Must Follow Leads Neither To Right, Nor Left"" is a book written by William O. Douglas, an American jurist and politician who served as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. The book is a collection of essays and speeches delivered by Douglas on various topics such as the Constitution, the environment, civil liberties, and the role of the judiciary in American society. The title of the book reflects Douglas' belief that the path to progress and justice is not a partisan one, but rather a straight and narrow one that requires courage, integrity, and a commitment to the principles of democracy and human rights. Throughout the book, Douglas argues that the American people must remain vigilant against threats to their freedoms and liberties, whether they come from government, corporations, or other sources of power. Douglas also discusses his own experiences as a Supreme Court Justice, including his controversial opinions on issues such as flag burning, abortion, and the death penalty. He reflects on the challenges and responsibilities of being a judge, and offers insights into the workings of the Supreme Court and the legal system in general. Overall, ""The Path We Must Follow Leads Neither To Right, Nor Left"" is a thought-provoking and inspiring book that encourages readers to think critically about the issues facing American society and to take an active role in shaping the future of their country.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
