I am currently conducting research on William Orville Douglas, America’s “international justice.”

The resulting book will explore the fascinating story of the global dealings of America’s longest-serving Supreme Court Justice during his time on the bench from 1939 to 1975, a period that ran from the start of the Second World War in Europe to the final withdrawal of the United States from Vietnam.

This international biography of Justice Douglas will be of interest to lovers of history in academia and among the general reading public.
