"Lively, eulogistic profiles of 15 Americans who were persecuted in their time for their minority beliefs....Archer frequently draws a parallel between past idealistic crusaders and present-day dissenters." —"Booklist" "This entertaining and thought-provoking book makes for good individual reading and should be useful in stimulating classroom discussions on labor, nuclear arms control, birth control, etc." —"Library Journal" "Strong chapters on Margaret Sanger and Robert Oppenheimer, both of which are quite judicious....Interesting...as a naysayer's slant on history." —"Kirkus Reviews" "[Archer] makes an admirable and timely plea for respect for the minority view." —"The New York Times Book Review"
