[T]he authors of this insightful and timely series of four essays ... chart the establishment and development of the court and demonstrate how rapidly it established itself, it's function and its centrality to law making and application in post war West Germany ... This is a timely book. It demonstrates that the public and state authorities of a once young and now mature, central democracy, have embraced judicial oversight. The world did not fall in.
