THE BRETHREN, Inside The Supreme Court, by Bob Woodward and Scott Armstrong, Co-Authors of All The President's Men. The Brethren is the first detailed behind-the-scenes account of the Supreme Court in action. Bob Woodward and Scott Armstrong have pierced its secrecy to give us an unprecedented view of the Chief Associate Justices-maneuvering, arguing, politicking, compromising , and making the decisions that affect every major area of American Life. The Brethren is a spellbinding account of the Court's landmark decisions of the past two decades - on the death penalty, the busing of school children, the release of Nixon's tapes, abortion, obscenity, and a remarkable portrait of the men who made the decisions.
