The Detroit School Busing Case: Milliken v. Bradley and the Controversy over Desegregation (Landmark Law Cases & American Society)
"An important book on the most important school desegregation case sinceBrown v. Board of Education. . . . Full of riveting descriptions of the Supreme Court Justices' internal deliberations, the Nixon administration's maneuverings, and a contemporary political context that included anti-busing riots in Boston and growing demands from 'liberal' northern congressmen for a constitutional amendment to bar busing."--Michael J. Klarman, professor at Harvard Law School and author of the Bancroft-Prize winning FromJim Crow to Civil Rights"An excellent and well-written study that does a superb job illuminating the issues surrounding this case."--Davison M.
