"Superbly well written . . . a wonderfully informative guide to the
Supreme Court both past and present."--David J. Garrow, "American
History""" Jeffrey Rosen recounts the history of the Supreme Court
through the personal and philosophical rivalries that have
transformed the law--and by extension, our lives. With studies of
four crucial conflicts--Chief Justice John Marshall and President
Thomas Jefferson; post-Civil War justices John Marshall Harlan and
Oliver Wendell Holmes; liberal icons Hugo Black and William O.
Douglas; and conservative stalwarts William H. Rehnquist and
Antonin Scalia--Rosen brings vividly to life the perennial rivalry
between those justices guided by strong ideology and those who
cared more about the court as an institution, forging coalitions
and adjusting to new realities. He ends with a revealing
conversation with Chief Justice John Roberts, who is attempting to
change the court in unexpected ways. The stakes, he shows, are
nothing less than the future of American jurisprudence.
