Editorial Reviews
Review
"May well be the definitive study of the legal strategies of NRA, AAA, and NLRB officials, and it makes solid contributions to our understanding of the wider subject of the New Deal itself. Little more could be asked."---Rev. Thomas E. Blantz, C.S.C., The Review of Politics
"[Irons's] net is wide and his vision panoramic as he weaves archival material and personal interviews into an impressive and exciting tapestry. Moreover, he brings one lawyerlike skill to the task--an ability to compress a tangled set of facts and complex legal ideas into a terse and lucid précis that adds immeasurably to the pace and clarity of his narrative."---Gerald T. Dunne, American Historical Review
"Sympathetically, vividly, and enthusiastically portrays the role of the lawyers involved in the early days of three important New Deal agencies."---Joseph L. Rauh, Jr., Harvard Law Review

- Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2022This is a fascinating look into the lawyers (as opposed to the politicians) who made the New Deal and the administrative state what it is today. Peter Irons does a compelling job of tying together a series of semi-biographical dives into New Deal administrative agencies into an overarching narrative about the boys “with their hair ablaze” and how they worked hard to create a new and better form of government in the face of the Great Depression. I highly recommend this book to any reader of history or any attorney looking for context.
