The FDR Presidential Library will host an author talk and book signing at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 24, 2010 with Jeff Shesol. Mr. Shesol is the author of Supreme Power: Franklin Roosevelt vs. the Supreme Court.

In SUPREME POWER Jeff Shesol describes FDR's epic conflict with the Court and lays bare the risks of confrontation-for the president, the Court, and the nation. Shesol argues that the showdown between Roosevelt and the Supreme Court was the greatest constitutional crisis of the 20th century.  FDR's response helped to save the New Deal and bring the nation into the modern world, but it also dealt him the biggest setback of his political life and split the Democratic Party.
