The 4 Justices are Frankfurter, Jackson, Black and Douglas. This is one of those few books that I wished had been longer. The author (who according to an opinion quoted on Wikipediais a "platinum resume'd law geek" (you can tell from the book that he has the most in common with Felix Frankfurter), doesn't have any particular axe to grind, and as a law professor, has a pretty good grasp of the complexities of legal theory.
