(From renowned political theorist James MacGregor Burns, a...)
From renowned political theorist James MacGregor Burns, an incisive critique of the overreaching power of an ideological Supreme Court For decades, Pulitzer Prize-winner James MacGregor Burns has been one of the great masters of the study of power and leadership in America. In Packing the Court, he turns his eye to the U.S. Supreme Court, an institution that he believes has become more powerful, and more partisan, than the founding fathers ever intended. In a compelling and provocative narrative, Burns reveals how the Supreme Court has served as a reactionary force in American politics at critical moments throughout the nation's history, and concludes with a bold proposal to rein in the court's power.

( James MacGregor Burns’s stunning trilogy of American hi...)
James MacGregor Burns’s stunning trilogy of American history, spanning the birth of the Constitution to the final days of the Cold War In these three volumes, Pulitzer Prize– and National Book Award–winner James MacGregor Burns chronicles with depth and narrative panache the most significant cultural, economic, and political events of American history. In The Vineyard of Liberty, he combines the color and texture of early American life with meticulous scholarship. Focusing on the tensions leading up to the Civil War, Burns brilliantly shows how Americans became divided over the meaning of Liberty. In The Workshop of Democracy, Burns explores more than a half-century of dramatic growth and transformation of the American landscape, through the addition of dozens of new states, the shattering tragedy of the First World War, the explosion of industry, and, in the end, the emergence of the United States as a new global power. And in The Crosswinds of Freedom, Burns offers an articulate and incisive examination of the US during its rise to become the world’s sole superpower—through the Great Depression, the Second World War, the Cold War, and the rapid pace of technological change that gave rise to the “American Century.”

(The proposition of this stunning sequel to the celebrated...)
The proposition of this stunning sequel to the celebrated "Roosevelt" The Lion and the Fox", James MacGregor burns notes in the Preface, is that Franklin D. Roosevelt "as war leader was a deeply divided man-divided between the man of principle, of ideals, of faith...and...the man of Realpolitik, of prudence, of narrow, manageable, short-run goals, intent always on protecting his power and authority in a world of shifting moods and capricious fortune. This dualism cleft not only Roosevelt, but also his advisers...And it divided the American people themselves, who were vacillating between the evangelical moods of idealism, sentimentalism, and utopianism of one era and older traditions of national self-regard, protectiveness, and prudence of another." Mr. Burns has worked on an enormous canvas. The great world at war is passed in review, but the focus is always on Roosevelt-his brilliant war leadership, the great vision he pursued, the fatal ambivalence that lay at the heart of his strategy for freedom. The narrative moves from the dark days of 1940 and the fight over aid to embattled Britain to the day in April 1945 when the President quietly slipped away. This is a triumphant biography, and its concluding volume is written with the grace and power that characterizes Mr. Burns' work. -description found on the front, inside flap of the dust jacket
