  1. Kundan

    A good, solid read on the history of the ACLU. It’s comprehensive, but it can also feel a bit overwhelming at times. Still worth it.

  2. Shivam Malhotra

    Changed my understanding of civil rights in America! Some essays resonated more than others, but it’s a powerful collection overall.

  3. Vishu Chauhan

    This book is a vital reminder of the importance of civil liberties. It is both informative and inspiring, but I wish it was less political.

  4. Jitender Dadarwal

    Important but a little preachy at times. Interesting to learn about the cases, but I think it could have been more neutral. Overall, good.

  5. Vansh Lalwani

    Offers a crucial perspective on American legal history. Some stories are very compelling, but the writing style varies across essays.

  6. Jai

    A great overview of the ACLU’s impact, but I wanted more depth on specific cases. Still, a valuable contribution to the conversation.

  7. Arghyadip Poddar

    An important book, well-written and informative. While at times depressing, it shows how much one organization can do. Buy this!

  8. Shikhar Suryawanshi

    A powerful collection highlighting crucial ACLU cases. Some essays were truly moving, others felt a bit dry. Overall, an important read.

  9. Mansi .

    This book is truly inspiring and so informative. It really motivated me to learn more and to get involved. Highly recommend to all!

  10. Ritik Sobti

    Fascinating to see how the ACLU has shaped our country. The essays are well-written and thought-provoking. I learned a lot! Highly recommend.

  11. Sayak Nandan

    While informative, the writing style felt academic. Some essays were hard to get through. Good content, but could be more accessible.

  12. Rhitu Prashansa

    Eye-opening and informative. “Fight of the Century” reminds us of the battles fought for our freedoms. A must-read for every concerned citizen.

  13. Vansh Sarraf

    A bit dense at times, but ultimately rewarding. It can be difficult to follow all the legal jargon, but the stories are incredibly important.

  14. Aniket Singh

    An essential read for anyone interested in American history and law. The different perspectives kept me engaged. It is a bit long though.

  15. Ishaan Kaushal

    Uneven in quality. Some essays were brilliant, offering fresh perspectives, but others were less engaging. Still, worth reading for the historical context.

  16. Parth Khatter

    I found it to be both enlightening and disheartening. So much progress, yet so much more to do. Some essays are more exciting.
