Book Synopsis The Eisenhower Court and Civil Liberties by : Theodore M. Vestal
Book excerpt: Arguing that the Eisenhower Court has been underrated by historians, Vestal (political science, Oklahoma State U.) analyzes the principal decisions of the Eisenhower Court, focusing on a number of important civil liberties cases decided by the Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren in the 1953-1961 terms. He also examines the politics and values of the justices as revealed by their voting behavior with particular attention to those justices appointed by President Eisenhower. Includes an extensive bibliography. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
