Jeff Shesol, a former speechwriter to President Bill Clinton and the author of Mutual Contempt: Lyndon Johnson, Robert Kennedy and the Feud That Defined a Decade, will discuss his new book Supreme Power: Franklin Roosevelt vs. the Supreme Court. “Once in a generation a groundbreaking book comes along to provide a major reinterpretation of a familiar historical event. Sheshol tells the story of FDR's court packing plan as it has never been told before. This is a stunning work of history.” — Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of Team of Rivals.
