In Liberty Defined, congressman and #1 New York Times bestselling author Ron Paul returns with his most provocative, comprehensive, and compelling arguments for personal freedom to date.

Spotlights the political, legal and civic battles raging in this country against what is arguably our most private and pluralistic right - sexual freedom.

This book will infuriate people on both ends of the political spectrum, if for different reasons.
