Praise for Louis D. Brandeis: American Prophet

"The brilliant, crusading Brandeis is the subject of Jeffrey Rosen’s excellent Louis D. Brandeis: American Prophet. The book, part of the Yale Jewish Lives series, is . . . a concise and sympathetic exploration of Brandeis’s main intellectual causes. It is well titled: Brandeis resembled an Old Testament prophet . . . with his highly articulated moral vision and true believer’s zeal. It is also well timed: Mr. Rosen persuasively makes his case that recognizing Brandeis as an 'American prophet' 'seems more important today than ever.'"

— Adam Cohen, The New York Times

"[E]loquent, insightful and compact .... Rosen's accessible prose makes a difficult intellectual feat look easy. He provides an excellent introduction to Brandeis's ideas about government regulation and big business, free speech, technology and privacy, and Zionism."

— The Washington Post
