Perhaps one of the main reasons for my disappointment with this book is that I have read Reason Magazine for years, including all of Brian Doherty's columns on the subject, so there was very little in it that I had not read already. But I would also have to say that the book was not a page-turner either; it was rather dry.

The book is rather short (126 pages), and less than half deals with the Heller case directly. The rest of the book covers the legal and historical background of gun rights and the gun control debate in the United States. If that is what you are looking for, then this book is probably what you want. ( )
