[Michael Wald, Reynolds Professor of Law, Stanford University:] In this book, Martin Guggenheim, one of the country's leading child advocates, challenges many of the basic premises of the proponents of "children's rights." He convincingly shows that legal policies claiming to protect the interests of children frequently reflect only adults' interests. His sweeping review of family law policy over the past forty years casts both case law and legal practice in an entirely new light.
