Book Review

The Supreme Court under Earl Warren, 1953–1969. By Michal R. Belknap. (Columbia: University of South Carolina Press, 2005. xx, 406 pp. $49.95, ISBN 1-57003-563-6.)
The book jacket reads "Belknap recounts the eventful history of the Warren Court," "reveals philosophical debates and personality conflicts behind the Court's decisions," and "assesses the overall accomplishments and failures of the Warren Court." Michal R. Belknap met these minimal objectives by providing a descriptive history of the Warren court replete with brief vignettes of differences among justices in specific decisions, short biographical descriptions of each justice, case by case analyses, and references to the impact of cases.	1
Although the author had access to extensive new archival material, the book does not blaze new pathways in our knowledge of the Warren court and the place of the Supreme Court in American history and political development. As others have done, Belknap emphasized that the Warren court with Justice Felix Frankfurter was very different from the post-1961 Court without him.	. . .
