Odd question people,
Who here has a particular text, either a textbook, scholarly treatise, or historical narrative book that they are partial to? Personally, some of my favorite historically relevant reading are court cases from the supreme court of the united states during the late 1800s and early to mid 1900s, it is incredible the leaps forward in legal theory development, and in step with it, history moves forward.
For example:
After 1929's crash the Supreme Court decided several landmark cases in very sharp fashion... they summarily executed several new deal programs which they felt were in disagreement with the US constitution in some way, shape, or form.
Some of the NLRB decision, Schechter Poultry, and other very important cases are amazing reading... I'll see if I can wrangle some links.
What do you find interesting, readable, etc.?
