At the age of 50, former prosecutor Bill ten Boom has walked out on everything he thought was important to him: his law career, his wife, Kindle County, even his country. Still, when he is tapped by the International Criminal Court - an organization charged with prosecuting crimes against humanity - he feels drawn to what will become the most elusive case of his career.

Legal thriller or sex fantasy?
Revisado: 09-21-18
OK it was primarily a good story woven through the legal telescope. Several interesting characters who played interesting roles that kept me wondering what Boom was going to uncover next. But was the sex necessary? Somewhat yes, to convey a mischievous element in one character. However, the heavy duty descriptions did not seem necessary to the plot.

A surprisingly influential figure
Revisado: 04-13-17
Would you listen to Herbert Hoover again? Why?
Yes. I always had a less than impressive regard for Hoover. That was because his presidency is linked with the Great Depression. Now I know much more about him; how and why he was able to become president. Regardless of political persuasion, one must admit that he accomplished much to be admired.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Herbert Hoover?
His struggle to meet the demands of Stanford.
Which scene was your favorite?
In general, his time in China.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Accomplishing the American Dream

Historia4 out of 5 stars 58
In this original, far-reaching, and timely book, Justice Stephen Breyer examines the work of SCOTUS in an increasingly interconnected world, a world in which all sorts of public and private activity - from the conduct of national security policy to the conduct of international trade - obliges the Court to consider and understand circumstances beyond America's borders. At a time when ordinary citizens may book international lodging directly through online sites, it has become clear that judicial awareness can no longer stop at the water's edge.

Though provoking in first chapter & last two
Revisado: 03-11-17
Extensive legal detail May be more valuable to someone with a greater law background and I have. However the points made in the last two chapters can apply, I think, to how we should view the other branches of our government: executive and legislative. Breyer congratulates not only our separation of powers, but also how we have learned over 200 years to peacefully accept today's judgments, laws, and executive actions, knowing that we have a structure that allows for change "tomorrow". Breyer's presentation of our history shows that our governmental pendulum can to swing from side to side; and at the same time be flexible enough to let us constantly move forward.
