When appointed Chief Justice several of his brethren looked down on him because of lack of judicial experience and legal scholarship. Cray documents how, motivated by the single question “Is it fair?”, Warren led the court for 16 years and left the legacy of Brown, Gideon, Miranda, Baker, and other decisions that champion civil rights and liberties. Cray shows Warren to be an honest man who cared about the common man and the common good.
