Publisher's Synopsis
Hentoff's book has been lauded as the clearest, strongest declaration of defiance against the Bush administration's attempted rollback of US civil liberties, spearheaded by the Patriot Act. The proposed sequel - Patriot II - would make it possible to revoke US citizenship and, for the first time in history, authorize secret arrests. This book is a call to arms for citizens to fight back and defend their liberties. Hentoff quotes Lance Morrow, who wrote: If Americans win a war... and lose the Constitution, they will have lost everything''
