granted, I believe that Ira Glasser and the ACLU can do no wrong.. . but this book is a fantastic introduction to the Bill of Rights and fundamental freedoms, especially helpful to those with little background in American history or Constitutional Law. With succinctly structured explanations, Glasser explains the establishment of rights in America and their extension via judicial review. beautifully illustrated by Adelman, the photographs ought to interest even those who could care less about the topic. recommended as a reference for any student of american history, constitutional law, etc.
