Summary, etc.: | As a Justice, Brett Kavanaugh solidified conservative control of the Supreme Court . Calmes tells his story of personal achievement, but also a larger, political tale: of the Republican Party's movement over four decades toward the far right, and its parallel campaign to dominate the government's judicial branch as well as the other two. The result is a harrowing look into the highest echelons of political power in the United States, and a captivating survey of the people who will do anything to have it. -- adapted from jacket |
