* The period from 1941 to 1953 marked the emergence of legal
liberalism, in the divergent activist efforts of Hugo Black, William
O. Douglas, Frank Murphy, and Wiley Rutledge. The war and early Cold
War years of the Court in reality marked the birth of the
constitutional order that dominated American public law in the later
twentieth century. That legal outlook emphasized judicial concern
for civil rights, civil liberties, and reaction to the emergent
national security state. This book recounts the history of the
United States Supreme Court in the momentous yet usually overlooked
years between the constitutional revolution that occurred in the
1930s and Warren-Court judicial activism in the 1950s.
