The epic 1950s battle that would shape the legal future of the civil rights movement is chronicled here for the first time.
The bitter feud between President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Chief Justice Earl Warren framed the tumultuous future of the modern civil rights movement. Eisenhower was a gradualist who wanted to coax white Americans in the South into eventually accepting integration, while Warren, author of the Supreme Court’s historic unanimous opinion inBrown v. Board of Education, demanded immediate action to dismantle the segregation of the public school system. In
Eisenhower vs. Warren, two-time
New York Times Notable Book author James F.

Compellingly written,
Eisenhower vs. Warren brings to vivid life the clash that continues to reverberate in political and constitutional debates today.
