Abortion and American Politics
Barbara Hinkson Craig, Wesleyan University
David M. O'Brien, University of Virginia

A Chatham House Title

"Although it almost certainly won't get much credit for it, this is a near-perfect example of that rara avis, the impartial report on a white-hot public issue. Each chapter is full of meanigful quotation and value-neutral elucidation, and each is written in a rainwater-clear prose that makes the book nonpareil for learning what, in terms of law and public policy, abortion in the U.S. is all about."
