Bob Woodward, a journalistic institution and himself a recent grabber of headlines for his latest book about the Trump White House, wrote a widely read book, The Brethren, about the Supreme Court between 1969 and 1975; it’s available through the Search Ohio network. For all its influence, however, it’s not an extremely well-regarded book, either among Supreme Court titles or within Woodward’s ouvre. His characterizations of the justices as petty, scheming, and egotistical finaglers make the most elevated legal thinkers in the land come across as a mix of the Greek gods and the cast of a reality show.
