FROM THE COMFORTS of growing up on New York's Upper West Side, to the terrors of bombing missions over Europe in World War II, to the cerebral duels of private law practice in Washington, D.C., "Incidents in a Life" recounts an extraordinary passage.

Told vividly, with brevity and clarity, these recollections reveal many seminal moments and landmark movements of 20th-century America.
