Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Brian Troxell delivers an exceptional performance in 'The Court at War,' making this audiobook stand out among political histories. His distinct voices for each justice are not only believable but also enhance the narrative, providing a sense of individual personalities amidst the collective intrigue. The pacing is brisk and engaging, mirroring the high-stakes nature of the legal battles. However, some sections can feel overly technical, which might be challenging for listeners seeking more of a political thriller than a detailed legal analysis. Despite this, the book’s insight into FDR's judicial strategy and its lasting impact make it invaluable listening.
