The modern Republican Party is the party of conservative Christianity and big business—two things so closely identified with the contemporary GOP that we hardly notice the strangeness of the pairing. Legal historian Mary Ziegler traces how the anti-abortion movement helped to forge and later upend this alliance.

What The Reviewers Say

Jennifer Szalai,
New York Times
You get the sense that Ziegler could recite this history backward and forward, comfortably parsing the arcane differences between 501(c)(4) and 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporations. She takes bits of levity where she can find them...but Dollars for Life is an inevitably sober book..

Publishers Weekly
A lucid and meticulous account.

Kirkus
Deeply researched.
