With all due respect, this book was a refreshing change after listening to "The Supremes' Greatest Hits" by M. G. Trachtman. The tone of Hudson's book was light, unbiased, explanatory, and very interesting. We've really grown as a society as evidenced by these landmark cases. It is something to be proud of. The cases decided by the Supreme Court that were highly controversial were communicated with respect. He discussed all sides of the issues with a tone of neutrality helping the listener understand not just the thought behind the majority decisions but the dissents. I love how he discussed the unpopular viewpoints within the context from which they came and also with sensitivity. This was also very refreshing to me. As a result, I really loved this book and will be getting more from this author. I would recommend it to anyone interested in a nice summary of the landmark Supreme Court decisions! 5 stars!

I really enjoyed the review of the early years of Supreme Court decisions. However, you can pick up the political bias in both the tone of the narrator and words of this book with regard to present controversial decisions. I was looking for an objective narration of these decisions. Overall it was a nice review of great Supreme Court decisions.
