Media Reviews

In 1974, a law professor named Charles L. Black published an extraordinary volume entitled, Impeachment: A Handbook. It is the finest text on the subject I have ever read. --Ben Wittes--Ben Wittes

To understand impeachment, read Black & Bobbitt. They show how the rule of law limits power, even of the most powerful, and remind us that the impact of the law on our lives ultimately depends on the conscience of individual members of Congress serving as jurors or judges. --Bill Bradley, former United States Senator
