520    "On June 26, 2015, the United States Supreme Court ruled 
       that state bans on gay marriage were unconstitutional, 
       making same-sex unions legal throughout the United States.
       But the road to victory was much longer than many know. In
       this seminal work, Sasha Issenberg takes us back to Hawaii
       in the 1990s, when that state's supreme court first 
       started grappling with the issue, and traces the fight for
       marriage equality from the enactment of the Defense of 
       Marriage Act in 1996 to the Goodridge decision that made 
       Massachusetts the first state to legalize same-sex 
       marriage, and finally to the seminal Supreme Court 
       decisions of Windsor and Obergefell. This meticulously 
       reported work sheds new light on every aspect of this 
       fraught history and brings to life the perspectives of 
       those who fought courageously for the right to marry as 
       well as those who fervently believed that same-sex 
       marriage would destroy the nation. It is sure to become 
       the definitive book on one of the most important civil 
       rights fights of our time"--|cProvided by publisher
