The Supreme Court

A leading Supreme Court expert recounts the personal and philosophical rivalries that forged our nation's highest court and continue to shape our daily lives. In this compelling work, Jeffrey Rosen recounts the history of the Court through the personal and philosophical rivalries on the bench that transformed the law and, by extension, our lives. Rosen brings to life the perennial conflict that has animated the Court-between those justices guided by strong ideology and those who forge coalitions and adjust to new realities.
