474 pages including index. Morgentaler's story is an intriguing and unique one, and, until now , a story that has never been completely told. Traces the life of a man forced to face death at an early age, a man who has chosen to live as a perpetual and deliberate outsider and a man who may not himself understand why he feels he must go to battle for an issue that few Canadians are entirely comfortable with. Very light wear. Clean and unmarked. Probably unread. Excellent copy. Book
