They embody our society\u2019s genetic code. In the masterful hands of the subject\u2019s greatest living historian, the story of the evolution of our laws serves to lay bare the deciding struggles over power and justice that have shaped this country from its birth pangs to the present. Law in America is a supreme example of the historian\u2019s art.
