An substantive academic investigation and report on twenty individual subjects and their reincarnation claims (seven in India, three in Ceylon, two in Brazil, seven among the Tlingit Indians of Southeastern Alaska, and one case in Lebanon).

Each case provides a full background detail about the persons interviewed and all information relevant to the subject's statements about the previous life claimed to be remembered. These are based on firsthand testimony taken during field interviews. The author discusses the weak and strong features of the case and analyzes any discrepancies. The volume concludes with a general discussion of hypotheses (fraud, cryptomnesia, extrasensory perception, genetic memory, etc.).
