For Supreme Court junkies, 2007 produced a bumper crop of books that shed light on that mysterious institution and its always fascinating members.
As others have noted, Jan Crawford Greenburg’s “Supreme Conflict” and Jeffrey Toobin’s “The Nine” have, from different perspectives, told us more inside information about the court-in a readable and credible way-than any other journalist’s book since “The Brethren” in 1979. And though Justice Clarence Thomas’ narrative in “My Grandfather’s Son” ends when he joins the court, it is a powerful read that bares not only his soul but his mind, his preferences and his prejudices. No one who follows the court can afford to skip Thomas’ book-or Greenburg’s and Toobin’s, for that matter.
