Absolute Convictions

"A scrupulous reporter . . . Deftly integrating personal and social history, Press junior chronicles his father's path to accidental heroism. . . . An absorbing narrative."--The Village Voice
 
"Abortion is a tricky topic and Press is brave to take it on. In many ways he succeeds, elegantly capturing the emotions, myths and realities that surround this issue. . . . [This book] will allow a much deeper understanding and a better appreciation of both points of view."--The Washington Post Book World
 
"The functional lesson that can be taken from Press's extremely helpful and concise histories of both movements is a lesson in responsibility. It's a story of how those who should have known better stood aside while the reckless and heedless polluted a difficult civic discussion with the histrionic language of incitement."--Los Angeles Times
