Baldwin's thirty-year tenure as director of the ACLU marked the period when the modern understanding of the Bill of Rights came into being. Recapturing the accomplishments and contradictions of America's greatest civil libertarian—a staunch defender of Communist Russia who openly admired J. Edgar Hoover and Douglas MacArthur—this riveting biography is an eye-opening view of the development of the American left.
