For almost seven decades Jack Greenberg fought for justice, firmly establishing himself as a legend in the legal community and beyond. Of course, he had a private life as well: he loved his family and friends, opera, cooking, travel, jokes, fine wines, and his country. This highly original book, by Greenberg's adopted son, is part biography, part memoir, part reference book, and part photo album. It includes substantial, heretofore unpublished documentation and about 150 photographs. It brings together the disparate elements of Greenberg's life and character with insights, scholarship, and humor.
