Author: Dershowitz, Alan M

"The wall of separation between church and state is one of the great barriers to religious tyranny. Among the wall's most articulate defenders is Dershowitz, who shows in this readable book why the authors of our Declaration feared theocracy and favored democracy."- Nadine Strossen, law professor and president of the ACLU. "The assertion that our Declaration of Independence is a Christian document is absurd. Colonists fled Europe to escape religious persecution, not to be controlled by a different religion."- Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA). Now in paper. 208 pp. June.
