More DescriptionAbraham L. Freedman (1904-1971) was heavily involved in public, charitable, and legal affairs in Philadelphia for 30 years in the mid twentieth century-as a drafter of the City's Home Rule Charter, as City Solicitor in the reform administration of Joseph S. Clark, Jr., as the first President of the Federation of Jewish Agencies, as a leading Federal judge, and in other roles. This book consists of extracts from his diary describing the events and personalities he encountered in those activities. As a thoughtful, idealist, intellectual, and yet at the same time practical person, the diary offers unusual insights and reflections on politics and law.
