Miller provides the facts to cut through the rhetoric.
Political debate of sensitive issues is too freqently polarized by passion, and too infreqently built upon the foundations of rigorous research, rational analysis and orderly presentation. Miller's book is therefore an invaluable tool for the proponents of legalization. It offers unassailable validity to arguments that are easily dismissed when couched in the shrill voice of uninformed ...

Drug Warriors and Their Prey: From Police Power to Police State

Praeger Trade, 1996

Now that I've read this book, I want to burn a flag.
This is one of the most powerful books I've read in a long time. Richard L. Miller deserves an award. In this book, the author details the erosion of civil liberties by the current war on drugs. For those familiar with this area, he trots out the typical points: harsh penalties for minor violations and loss of civil liberties for all. But what makes this book special is the author's analysis of ...

Whittaker: Struggles of a Supreme Court Justice (Contributions in Legal Studies)

A Harsh Evaluation of Justice Whittaker
It is obvious from the outset that the author does not like his subject. This is one of the two biographies on Justice Whittaker currently available and they could not be two more different books in their approaches. While Craig Alan Smith in his "Failing Justice" [also reviewed on Amazon] wants to defend Whittaker, Richard Lawrence Miller takes every opportunity to take a poke at the ...

The Encyclopedia of Addictive Drugs
This is the best review of todays problem drugs. The Encyclopedia is much better than the deceptive and misleading presentation of drugs by the Bush administration. If the truth will set you free, The Encyclopedia of Addictive Drugs is well on its way to the truth. A book to help with the facts. Punitive dialogues of todays official positions need to be replaced with something other than dogma.

Nazi Justiz: Law of the Holocaust

Praeger Publishers, 1995

Why was it "legal" for Nazis to commit genocide?
Pre-Nazi Germany was a land of high culture and many laws, so how did it become both legal and acceptable to commit mass murder as the "final solution?" Bizarre as it might seem to most Americans, the road to genocide was "legal" ... and the German judicial system actively paved that road. In this fairly short and highly readable book, the author shows how the five steps to the Nazi ...

Best Lincoln book ever
This book is absolutely captivating. It is one of the best biographies I have ever read--one truly has a feel for what Lincoln's world was like during his childhood and early adulthood. Can't wait for the sequel.

Lincoln And His World: Prairie Politician, 1834-1842
Richard Lawrence Miller

Stackpole Books, 2008

In the second volume of this monumental Lincoln biography, the young Illinois politician is challenged by Stephen Douglas--brilliant organizer of the Illinois Democratic Party, perennial officeholder and candidate, and unscrupulous when publicly debating Lincoln. Lincoln and his fellow Whigs go on the attack as Democrats split into two factions. Rhetorical violence becomes physical as Whig mobs attack and politicians attempt murder. Lincoln ...
