Coercing Virtue: The Worldwide Rule of Judges
By Robert H. Bork
ISBN 0-8447-4162-0, $25.00 Hardcover
The AEI Press

Review excerpt:

This is probably the most irritating book I have read all year. Not, I hasten to add, because of any deficiencies in the book itself. On the contrary, Coercing Virtue is a model of lucidity, mordant wit, and scarifying analysis. The irritation--edging into anger and alarm--comes from contemplating the unlovely political and social realities that Robert Bork exposes.

Roger Kimball is managing editor of The New Criterion. Robert H. Bork is a senior fellow at AEI.
