review 1: This book covers a lot of ground, masterfully. It is at once a history of the 1937 "Court-Packing Plan," an ethnography of FDR's Cabinet, an assessment of the status of the New Deal toward the end of the 1930s, and a frank biography of Roosevelt himself. Incredibly detailed, it's the perfect read for a law or politics buff, FDR admirer, or student of the New Deal; despite its length, it's a hard book to put down.
review 2: descriptive, informative, and shocking!!! This book which gives you an inside look at the inner workings of Washington D.C. and the plan to pack the Supreme Court during the run up to the president introducing the "court packing bill" and the aftermath that ensued. This book can give you an insight to how politics worked in the 30s and also h... moreow the Supreme Court is deceptively a political institution. less
