5.0 out of 5 stars
A great read for Supreme Court fans and historians!,
By Jim S. (Cleveland, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Supreme Court and the American Elite, 1789-2008 (Hardcover)
I really enjoyed this book. I have read many, many books on the Supreme Court, its history, and the lives of those who have served upon it, and this one rates among the most enjoyable panoramic histories I've read. It may not appeal as much to one who selects this as an introduction to the Court's history, as I believe it is written more for persons already familiar with the area -- but for those readers, it offers a rewarding insight into each of the cases, controversies, and personalities, and the interactions of these forces, which have shaped the Court and the Country since its founding days.

A disappointment,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Supreme Court and the American Elite, 1789-2008 (Paperback)
The title suggests it would be a complement to (or update of) Gustavus Myers' History of the Supreme Court of the United States. Instead it's just a rehash of material found in any elementary U.S. history class.
