D. Scott Rogo offers a thorough, balanced account of the history of research into reincarnation. He breaks the phenomenon of past-life recall into its key areas, provides extremely strong case-studies, and then examines the possible alternative explanations. With a rare ability to look objectively at all possibilities, he avoids the dogmatic error of assuming "all or nothing". This book provides a solid background for this area of study, but is also worth reading just for the strength of the collected cases. He is unafraid of presenting cases which support reincarnation, telepathy, and cryptoamnesia, and suggests that all three may be present in any case suggestive of reincarnation.
