- Synopsis
- During Franklin Roosevelt's first term, a narrow conservative majority on the US Supreme Court struck down several key elements of the New Deal legislation. The ensuing fight engulfed the country. Providing new evidence and fresh insight, Jeff Shesol unfolds like a thriller, with vivid characters and unexpected twists, why understanding the Court fight is essential to understanding the presidency, personality, and legacy of FDR-and to understanding America at a crossroads in its history.
