“A riveting detailed account…[Make No Law] is nothing less than a comprehensive history of free speech in America.”—Philadelphia Inquirer
“Superbly written… a compelling drama that clearly places the Sullivan decision in the context of the court’s still evolving notions of free speech and fully illuminates the constitutional principles at stake…an essential guide.” —Boston Globe
