A riveting account of the Kelo vs New London Supreme court battle. The author delves into the personal lives and motivations for all involved in the case which changed the way States and Cities view economic development and the power of eminent domain. It provides a lively discussion for book club members to examine the role of our elected officials and how decisions are made about our communities.

To a person, we all were infuriated by the abuse of eminent domain chronicled in this book! It wasn\\\'t at all dry as it probably sounds, but was very well researched! We were impressed with the courage of Susette Kelo, the central victim, and are still upset with the Supreme Court! It was a very good discussion!
