About this title: In what is certain to be one of the most talked-about books of the year, Alderman and Kennedy examine one of our basic--and most contested--legal and constitutional rights: the right to privacy. Through a seamless interweaving of landmark cases, lesser-known trial decisions, and dozens of anecdotal narratives, the authors make an urgent, ...

"Another great one from Kennedy/Alderman. ENLIGHTENING. One of the reasons I'm still so wary of Facebook. Contains information that the average U.S. citizen isn't aware of and that every U.S. citizen should be aware of."
"Also, one of my favorites. Goes through some actual cases and interpretations by the courts. It discusses what WE think our right to privacy is and how the courts see society's right to privacy (since it does not actual state in the constitution what OUR rights are in reference to privacy). It would be a great follow-up to this book to have a 2nd book discussing and giving some additional, more recent cases and the courts interpretation, given the Bush administrations views on a persons right to privacy."
"When honorable, yet powerful, humble, yet strong women have something to say, I usually listen. This is pure truth and well said. Filed in the library of my mind I feel like I've taken a class on law, history and psychology taught by Caroline Kennedy herself. For these authors to take a second and memorialize where we've come, will hopefully help the next generation not make the same mistakes."
"A very good survey of the development of a constitutional right to privacy, covering strip searches, reproductive freedom and right-to-die issues by looking at important cases. A great strength of this book is that it isn't polemical, but a fair-minded look at a controversial subject."
