Synopsis
This engaging historical account chronicles the behind-the-scenes power struggle that occurred when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, shortly after his 1937 inauguration, launched a campaign to alter the make-up of the Supreme Court--in part to gain legislative support for New Deal legislation. Journalist Burt Solomon tells how progressive Democratic Senator Burton K. Wheeler, among others, fought to preserve the U.S. Constitution from presidential tinkering. Solomon provides a nuanced view into the three branches of government and illustrates the effect of this battle on Roosevelt's presidency. Includes black and white photos.
