Book Review of Amos N. Guiora, Earl Warren, Ernesto Miranda and Terrorism (NY: Twelve Tables Press 2018)

Abstract

This book is about Warren and his legacy with special attention to terror. Warren was a District Attorney and a Governor of California before he was appointed to the Supreme Court by President Eisenhower in 1953. As Governor of California, Warren was tough on crime, a fierce proponent of law and order, and a proponent of Japanese Internment during WWII, a decision he would later describe as wrong. Guiora describes Warren as ambitious, tough, self-effacing and modest, a master politician who was able to sway, convince and cajole. His impact and influence are undeniable and significant.

Keywords: terror, Miranda, human rights, law, Earl Warren, American Supreme Court
