Description: Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Lewis describes how America's free-speech rights were created. It is a story of hard choices, heroic judges, and the fascinating and eccentric defendants who forced the legal system to come face to face with one of America's great founding ideas.
Review Quotes: "[A] heroic account of how courageous judges in the 20th century created the modern First Amendment."--Jeffrey Rosen, New York Times Book Review
