Drawing from dozens of new interviews that yield surprising new evidence, author DALE CARPENTER re-examines the motives of almost every character involved, from the arresting police officers to the gay-rights attorneys, whose maneuverings brought the case to national attention, to the nine Supreme Court justices. With the legal battle over gay marriage looming, this first complete history of the case, which expanded the legal rights of millions of gay and lesbian Americans, could not be timelier.
This conversation was recorded in New York City on March 22, 2012.
