Description
Hentoff adds fifty pages of new material for the paperback edition of his hot-selling jeremiad. It has been lauded as the clearest, strongest declaration of defiance against the Bush administration's attempted rollback of US civil liberties. Hentoff offers exclusive reporting on grassroots citizens' resistance groups and expertly summarises the latest developments, including key Supreme Court verdicts from July 2004.
Reviews
"Hentoff's concise, remarkably comprehensive, and highly readable book will be distressingly informative for many." - Los Angeles Times; "Anyone concerned with civil liberties should read this short and snappy report from the front lines of this latest constitutional struggle" - Publishers Weekly
