Nate Johnston finished reading The Great Dissenter by Peter S. Canellos
This is an outstanding book, if you are interested in either Supreme Court history, the history of the Civil War, the Gilded Age, or the Civil Rights Movement. My only criticism is that it was a little slow in the first section ("Book One") and then seemed to go very quickly in the Supreme Court ("Book Two") and postmortem ("Book Three"). It also got a little hero-worshippy in places.
