How Sex Became a Civil Liberty
Marty Klein's America's War on Sex also covers law and sex with some historical context. However, Wheeler's is the definitive work on the history of sexual rights in the United States in the 20th century. An essential title for students and academics in this area of study.

Flagrant Conduct
Books covering similar ground include Carlos A. Ball's From the Closet to the Courtroom, which describes five major LGBTQ cases, and David A. J. Richards's The Sodomy Cases, which discusses both Bowers v. Hardwick and Lawrence v. Texas, but Carpenter's is the most thorough account and analysis of the case available. An interesting and insightful book recommended for lawyers, students, and scholars interested in public policy and LGBTQ studies.

Breaking the Devil's Pact
While there are many books about the Teamsters, this is the definitive legal and political account of this piece of their history and makes for detail-heavy but worthwhile reading. Highly recommended for scholars, lawyers, and college students with a strong interest in labor and/or organized crime history.

New York Times v. Sullivan
This is enlightening reading. The book interweaves libel and First Amendment law with southern political culture and the Civil Rights Movement, showing how the Alabama legal and political establishment tried to use the courts to silence the media and hobble civil rights. Highly recommended.

In Brown's Wake

From the Closet to the Courtroom
While other recent books on LGBT court cases offer broader coverage, such as Susan Gluck Mezey's Queers in Court: Gay Rights, Law and Public Policy, no other book covers this particular set of cases. This will be of particular interest as the California gay marriage case wends its way through the courts and "don't ask, don't tell" features prominently in the news.
