It is certainly in the highest tradition of investigative journalism. -- Saturday Review A provocative book about a hallowed institution...It is the most comprehensive inside story ever written of the most important court in the world. For this reason alone it is required reading. -- BusinessWeek Fascinating. The pace is swift, with details that rivet the attention. -- The Washington Post Book World Explosive...The most controversial book on the Supreme Court yet written. -- Los Angeles Times Book Review The year's best political book. -- New York Post One hell of a reporting achievement. -- The Village Voice The year's best political book. -- New York Post One hell of a reporting achievement. -- The Village Voice One hell of a reporting achievement. -- The Village Voice The year's best political book. -- New York Post
