Hentoff's timely, fact-filled, and illuminating book describes the current assault on free speech from all points of the political spectrum--even from the traditionally liberal groups now intent on repressing opinions thought "politically incorrect."
Hentoff's fierce consistency in this libertarian manifesto will draw the wrath of critics.

He also criticizes the harsh limitations imposed on picketing anti-abortion groups.
