Justice Stevens' memoir: Modest tone but pointed critiques
Stevens' new memoir has a similarly modest tone, but between the lines are some strong assertions, notably criticism of his former colleague Chief Justice William Rehnquist, who presided over the court from 1986-2005.
Stevens' observations also serve as a reminder, as the presidential season heats up, of how a single new justice can make the difference in the law of the land. Stevens writes that the 1991 retirement of liberal Thurgood Marshall and President George H.W. Bush 's choice of conservative Clarence Thomas to succeed him "may well have been the most significant judicial event" of Rehnquist's tenure as chief justice.

Stevens refers to Rehnquist opinions as "abysmal" and "simply wrong.

I wrote this book for one simple reason: I wanted to read it. I first became interested in the Nuremberg Military Tribunals (NMTs) in the context of aggression. Roger Clark, who was at that time deeply involved in the ICC’s Special Working Group on the Crime of Aggression (SWG), asked me to prepare a report on the Nuremberg-era approach to the crime’s leadership requirement, which was then being debated by the SWG. (The report eventually became this article in the European Journal of International Law .) My research led me to the NMTs – and I was surprised, even shocked, to discover that apart from a couple of book chapters and articles, many written by the participants themselves,...
