About the Book

Griffin B. Bell has been so consummately effective in his profession that he has come to be known by the simple moniker of "The Judge." From his roots in depleted cotton land in rural Georgia during the decade before the Great Depression, Judge Bell rose to the epicenter of some of our country's most tumultuous events. In 1959, when Georgia governor Ernest Vandiver made the infamous segregationist pledge, "No, not one," Bell was the governor's chief of staff, urging him to keep Georgia's school open. Several years later, Bell co-chaired the Georgia presidential campaign of John F. Kennedy, Following his strange destiny, Judge Bell found himself on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals when James Meredith sought admission to the University of Mississippi. While Ross Barnett and other Southern governors were shouting "Interposition!" and precipitating a constitutional crisis, Judge Bell and his colleagues were defending - often at their own peril - the authority of federal law. Bell's moderate position embroiled him in a firestorm of criticism in 1976 when President Jimmy Carter nominated him for Attorney General of the U.S. Bell nevertheless won confirmation and served with distinction, restoring the integrity of a Justice Department thoroughly besmirched by his predecessor John Mitchell. After his resignation from Carter's cabinet, Bell continued to be immersed in the most controversial of legal issues. When E.F. Hutton was rocked by scandal and when the Exxon Valdez covered Prince William Sound with oil, Judge Bell took charge of the international investigations. Author Reg Murphy writes that Griffin Bell's life was a "remarkable confluence of man and moment." Bell seized and shaped the moment - and, in the process, shaped his country's history.
