"In a mere one thousand days, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy created an entrancing public persona that has remained intact for nearly forty years. Even now, a decade after her death, she remains a figure of enduring - and endearing - interest. Yet, while innumerable books have focused on the legends and gossip surrounding this charismatic figure, Barbara Perry's is the first to focus largely on Kennedy's White House years, portraying a first lady far more complex and enigmatic than previously perceived."
"The Supremes" brings to life the nine justices of the current U.S. Supreme Court, illuminating the intriguing stories of the high court's members through engaging portrayals of each justice's biography, judicial philosophy, and personality.

This work constitutes a unique resource for both veteran and new observers of the Supreme Court.
