Tough Talk: How I Fought for Writers, Comics, Bigots, and the American Way

3/5 ( ratings)

Martin Garbus is one of the First Amendment's most ferocious partisans. In the four decades since he began his law career , he's worked with an incredible cast of characters, including Cesar Chavez, Robert Redford, Andrey Sakharov, Martin Lawrence, Spike Lee, Daniel Ellsberg, Samuel Beckett, and Vaclav Havel. He has been expelled from nations, thrown in jail, and physically attacked for his controversial work.The right of every American to speak freely did not come without great struggle, and it remains the subject of heated debate. From tabloid headlines and obscene art to top-secret leaks and our very right to dissent, the First Amendment remains at the heart of how America defines itself -- and often the fissure along which it divides itself. Garbus's exciting memoirs will be sure to add to currently raging debates over flag burning, cyber rights, campaign finance reform, and other hot First Amendment issues.
