    Summary: 
    An award-winning investigative journalist presents an account of the life and confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, featuring interviews with his accusers and evidence of his deceptions amongst the Republican Party's drive toward the far right.
    As a Justice, Brett Kavanaugh solidified conservative control of the Supreme Court . Calmes tells his story of personal achievement, but also a larger, political tale: of the Republican Party's movement over four decades toward the far right, and its parallel campaign to dominate the government's judicial branch as well as the other two. The result is a harrowing look into the highest echelons of political power in the United States, and a captivating survey of the people who will do anything to have it. -- adapted from jacket
