Alan Dershowitz has been called "one of the most prominent and consistent defenders of civil liberties in America" by Politico and "the nation's most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer and one of its most distinguished defenders of individual rights" by Newsweek. His legal career as a criminal defense lawyer has been deeply involved with death and life decisions.

In his new book "Dershowitz on Killing: How the Law Decides Who Shall Live and Who Shall Die," he examines the subjects of death, life, and the law.
