Gun Control on Trial: Inside the Supreme Court Battle Over the Second Amendment
"As Brian Doherty so clearly demonstrates in Gun Control on Trial, were it not for the rights guaranteed in the Second Amendment--and reaffirmed, in this inside account, by the Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller--we would forfeit our individual right to survive."--NAT HENTOFFColumnist, Village VoiceAuthor, Living the Bill of Rights: How to Be an Authentic American"Brian Doherty's Gun Control on Trial is to the Heller case what Richard Kluger's Simple Justice is to the Brown decision--an essential history made up of equal parts legal theory and personal struggle, presented in page-turning fashion."--GLENN REYNOLDSProfessor of Law, University of TennesseeFounder, Instapundit.com"The Supreme Court's Heller decision wasn't merely a political bombshell, it was an historic advance in the ongoing struggle to restore the first human right: the right to self-defense. Brian Doherty, a tireless intellectual sleuth, not only sheds light on the political and legal questions surrounding gun rights today, he lucidly puts them in their proper historical and philosophical context. This is required reading for those interested in, never mind committed to, the right to self-defense."--JONAH GOLDBERGContributing Editor, National ReviewAuthor, Liberal Fascism
