What are some informative and entertaining books on the history of the SCOTUS?

by MusicTeen

I am also intrigued by the Warren Court period, so if their is a recommendable book on the Warren Court that would be fantastic!

This may seem like a brief or immature question but I made sure to check the subreddit rules, which stated:

"Posts that ask for reading recommendations are allowed. You may also wish to check the book list."

And I could not find anything relating to my desired topic on the book list.

Thank you for your time!

The Brethren by Bob Woodward

The Nine by Jeffery Toobin

Almost anything by Akhil Reed Amar

None of these are academic books, they're aimed more at opening the workings of the Court to the general public.

If you want something that gets a little more technical, I'm currently reading Breyer's The Court and the World and it's been fascinating. It's not so much about the history of the Court itself but the history of the Court's role in foreign policy and how they deal with international legal conflicts.

The court is absolutely fascinating, and I highly recommend this list from Streetlaw.org: http://www.streetlaw.org/en/Page/39/Books_About_the_Supreme_Court. Really their whole website is great. I use it often with my students.
