A great book that should be republished,
By A Customer
This review is from: Circumcision: What It Does (Paperback)
This book explains exactly what the devistating results of circumcision are for the child it is inflicted on. Anyone curious about what circumcision is all about should read this book. It needs to be back in print. If you can find a copy at your local library, be sure to read it. You'll be glad you did.

Finally!,

This review is from: Circumcision Exposed: Rethinking a Medical and Cultural Tradition (Paperback)
It's about time an un biased, factual book was written on this subject.
My sons are still intact and as perfect as they were the day they were born, but I will be buying more copies for my pregnant friends.
