Spanning the years from 1946 until 1953, the Vinson Court made the legal transition from World War II to the Korean War, and the outspoken justices Felix Frankfurter and Hugo Black helped shape its legacy. The Vinson Court summons students and legal professionals to understand the impact and tensions of Fred Vinson's term as Chief Justice from 19461953. Court scholar Michal R. Belknap explores McCarthyism, the Cold War, racial segregation, and capital punishment from the Supreme Court's view. These controversies shaped the most important decision on presidential powers, restrictions on political expression, and a nasty conflict over the Rosenbergs. Significant rulings are reviewed, and the 12 justices on the Vinson Court including Felix Frankfurter and Hugo Black are introduced. Clashes were common between some of the Supreme Court's strongest personalities, and these are highlighted throughout the text. The court's legacy completes this powerful study of constitutional law. Four narrative chapters on the justices, decisions, and legacy of the Vinson Court 12 photographs and biographies of the justices who served on the Vinson Court

"The book is obviously of benefit to any who study or teach the court system and Supreme Court decision-making. This is a well written book that manages the often difficult task of explaining not only the philosophies of the justices but also the sentiment of the times." - The Law and Politics Book Review "It is highly recommended to any high school, academic, and public libraries." - American Reference Books Annual
