Justice for All: Earl Warren and the Nation He Made

One of the most acclaimed and best political biographies of its time, Justice for All is a monumental work dedicated to a complicated and principled figure that will become a seminal work of twentieth-century U.S. history. In Justice for All , Jim Newton, an award-winning journalist for the Los Angeles Times , brings readers the first truly comprehensive consideration of Earl Warren, the politician-turned-Chief Justice who refashioned the place of the court in American life through landmark Supreme Court cases whose names have entered the common parlance — Brown v. Board of Education , Griswold v. Connecticut , Miranda v. Arizona , to name just a few. Drawing on unmatched access to government, academic, and private documents pertaining to Warren’s life and career, Newton explores a fascinating angle of U.S. Supreme Court history while illuminating both the public and the private Warren.
