Book synopsis

This edition of William H. Rehnquist's classic The Supreme Court includes new chapters on the New Deal and Warren Courts, and substantially enhances the success of the first edition in making the inner workings of the nation's highest court comprehensible to laymen.Rehnquist examines both the Court's history and its pivotal decisions. He conveys the importance of decisions like Marbury v. Madison and the Dred Scott case, how the decisions were reached, and the character of those involved. From personal portraits of legendary figures like Chief Justice Taney, to dynamic descriptions of events, like the fractious internal feuding of the 1940s, Rehnquist's account of the Court's evolution is as fascinating for its human element as it is for its historical insights.
