Summary: Ideology overwhelms scholarship and fairness
Comment: It's clear by now that there's no real medical basis for neonatal circumcision. One would hope in a book of this bulk (and price) to gain sharper insight into where the practice came from and why it has been so tenacious. Unfortunately the authors' interests as crusaders against mutilation turn this into a very large tract.

Summary: "Long Overdue"
Comment: "The definitive work on the subject has just been published, and its a long, long time overdue. The first couple of sentences says it all. I couldn't have summed it up better myself. 'In those countries where circumcision is an accepted part of life, perfectly rational, intelligent and well-meaning adults believe that they have the right to cut off parts of their childrens' sexual organs!' What else do you think you have the right to cut off your child?" Dr Dean Edell, The Dean Edell Show, KGO, San Francisco
