Book Synopsis
A provocative history that reveals how guns—not abortion, race, or religion—are at the heart of America's cultural divide.

Trade Review
"Adam Winkler tells the remarkable story of the rag-tag group of libertarian lawyers who challenged nearly a century of lower-court precedent to bring a clear-cut Second Amendment case to the Supreme Court... An engaging and provocative legal drama about the six-year courtroom journey of District of Columbia v Heller and a fascinating survey of the misunderstood history of guns and gun control in America." "A succinct and fascinating introduction to the legal and historical issues at the heart of the gun debate." -- Eric Arnesen, professor of history at George Washington University and fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars "A potboiler of constitutional interpretation and is both a vital history and an intellectually satisfying, emotionally rewarding tale of a great case." -- Jim Newton
