The tumultuous events of 1968, including the Vietnam War and the assassinations of key figures, set the stage for a lesser-known but significant cultural battle over Abe Fortas's nomination as Chief Justice. Michael Bobelian, an award-winning judicial journalist, vividly recounts the clash between Lyndon Johnson's Democrats and Richard Nixon's Republicans, highlighting the defamation of Fortas, the first Jewish nominee. Through dramatic vignettes, the narrative explores landmark rulings, political chaos, and the dynamics among influential leaders during this pivotal moment in American judicial history.
