"The men who made up the Warren Court changed America forever. Morton Horwitz has written the best accessible general history of how they did it."--Eben Moglin, Columbia Law School "In this modest and very moving book, Morton Horwitz summarizes the achievements of the Supreme Court under Earl Warren. . . . He provides a clear and compact account of the Warren Court and its legacy, bringing an engaged sympathy but also sharp analysis and critical distance. The Court helped irrevocably to alter the practical meanings of freedom, equality, and democracy in America. This is a story of momentous decisions, and Horwitz tells it simply and well."--Robert W. Gordon, Johnston Professor of Law and History, Yale University [An] elegant extended essay. . . . [Horwitz's] effort is not only to tell what happened during an exceptionally fruitful sixteen-year period, but to infuse those events with meaning for readers who come to them with neither basic facts nor historical context readily at hand. The effort succeeds to a notable degree."--Linda Greenhouse, The New York Times, The men who made up the Warren Court changed America forever.

Seller sent the wrong item, but the wrong book has a very similar cover and seller addressed problem very quickly. Although annoyed, I must say this seller is very professional and refunded my purchase promptly, in a most courteous manner--somewhat remarkably for such a small dollar amount. Book was also carefully and professionally wrapt, was a very fast ship, and was in good condition as described. Somewhat to my surprise, I HIGHLY recommend this seller--I will buy from Discover Books again
