"The Right to
Privacy by Ellen Alderman and Caroline Kennedy is an introduction to the wide variety of privacy
claims made
by American citizens and the fate of those
claims in the courts. The book is intended for a general readership, rather than for legal scholars, and it is designed as if in answer to a list of points about
privacy that almost any group of Americans would produce if they were asked to name the areas of privacy in which they were most interested. The authors respond to the prevailing idea in American society that there is some kind of legal protection for privacy rights.
