Trade Review
"A well-written, accessible, and fairly nontechnical overview of the function of the writ of habeas corpus, the ways in which it is and is not working, and an effectively presented case for reform. Few books cover as much ground in as concise a manner." (Todd Pettys, University of Iowa College of Law)"
