Politics of the American Civil Liberties Union - Hardcover

-The book is based on very extensive research and written with admirable lucidity. Professor Donohue knows what he is talking about and can prove what he says by citation to chapter and verse. He is not only industrious and intelligent, but courageous. He will undoubtedly be vilified and pelted with personal abuse not only by ACLU's active management, but by liberals of both the traditional and modern varieties. Many traditional liberals, who really do believe in the Bill of Rights, have not yet realized the ACLU as a rule believes in freedom only for the Good-Thinking People.- --Joseph W. Bishop, Jr., Yale University. -[One] of the more sophisticated attempts I have seen to wed scholarship to the neoconservative cause. By employing meticulous scholarship . . . Donohue provides us with an illuminating ... analysis of the strange career of liberalism in contemporary America. . . . Donohue has done his homework. . . . I have to admire his scholarly fortitude.- --J. Craig Jenkins, Contemporary Sociology "The book is based on very extensive research and written with admirable lucidity.
