About this title

Review:

"I read the book in one setting. Stupendous achievement. Searing. Infuriating. Uplifting. All at once. Brian Aitken has written a searing memoir about his experiences inside a legal system that has lost its moral compass. That he can write about his ordeal with such dignity and even humor is a testament to Brian's courage, his integrity, and his compassion. Read this book." - Clark Neily III, Institute for Justice

"In The Blue Tent Sky, Brian Aitken, with grace rather than bitterness, exposes the evils a scorned woman can inflict upon a good man and how a biased court system will work in her favor. A shocking exposé of cruelty and corruption." - Suzanne Venker, author of The War on Men

"A chilling exposé of the legal system gone berserk." - American Rifleman

"A riveting and intimate perspective from the 50-yard line of Aitken's courtroom drama." - America's 1st Freedom

"Brian D. Aitken recounts his nightmare experience with New Jersey anti-gun laws and jurists in his new memoir." - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

"A solid, clearly written memoir that will make readers more thoughtful about gun legislation." - Publishers Weekly
"A riveting and outrageous read, yet leavened with hope." - Walter Olson, Overlawyered
"A harrowing tale of being thrown in jail when you've done absolutely nothing wrong." - Newsmax

"Brian Aitken's memoirs show the dark side of a liberal desire to make the world safer." - Reason Magazine
