Summary

Summer, 2018. With the power of the #MeToo movement behind her, a terrified but composed Christine Blasey Ford walked into a Senate hearing room to accuse Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault. Democrats were accused of a 'calculated and orchestrated political hit.' But Marcus goes behind the scenes to document the thirty-year mission by conservatives to win a majority on the Supreme Court-- and the lifelong ambition of Kavanaugh to secure his place in that victory. On the way, she uncovers secret White House meetings, intense lobbying efforts, private confrontations on Capitol Hill, and lives forever upended on both coasts. -- adapted from jacket
