Protecting freeom of speech in as sweeping a fashion as the First Amendment does, however, makes it all the more important that we also both protect and honor thoughtful critics of the press and of others who exercise their First Amendment rights.
Those in journalism and law, and students of those fields, will find this book a welcome addition to their bookshelves. Yet its prose is such that it will interest and educate anyone who has even a passing interest in the First Amendment and its relevance to modern life.

Alex's review focuses mostly on Abrahms' discussion of the libel case of Wayne Newton following an NBC report that he "was involved with shady characters in a deal involving the Aladdin Hotel and Casino" and "perjured himself before the Nevada Gaming Commission".
