P Battle For The Marble Palace is a masterpiece of US sociopolitical history, Michael Bobelian impressed me and endeared himself to me with his first book Children Of Armenia and in this grander endeavor he employs the same narrative structure that makes the book read almost like a novel.
Bobelian has an uncanny ability in both of his books to give the reader hope for a different ending, despite reading meticulously researched history,
The chapters are arranged in such a way that the narrative builds intrigue and tension with references to contemporary events that are not only helpful to me, a reader who wasn't alive for the Eisenhower, Johnson, or Nixon administrations but also enrich the narrative and the general thesis of the book: these events came to dictate how our judicial, legislative, and executive branches of government not just interact with each other, but how they function in their own rights.

Bobelian is nimble with his prose, uses humor and parallels to construct a three dimensional environment that allows the reader to fully understand how and why each signifying event in the Supreme Court's history between Eisenhower and Nixon came to happen.
He builds suspense and moves the story in real time,
This is one of the most difficult books I've read in some time and I feel enriched as a person for it, I want to engage more with US history and follow Bobelian's journalism more closely,
BONUS: This book is so painstakingly researched that there are overpages of references, bibliography, and notes!
The sole flaw I can find in the piece is that the latterpages could have used one more go with a copy editor.
