Nat Hentoff Poradie kníh (chronologicky)
Nathan Hentoff bol novinár, autor a kritik, ktorého celoživotným dielom bolo obhajovanie slobody prejavu a občianskych slobôd. S neochvejným záväzkom k prvému dodatku Ústavy USA Hentoff analyzoval a komentoval zložitosť právneho štátu, slobody tlače a individuálnych práv. Jeho písanie, ktoré sa objavovalo v popredných publikáciách, sa vyznačovalo prenikavým postrehom a vášnivou obhajobou základných slobôd. Prostredníctvom svojej rozsiahlej kariéry sa Hentoff etabloval ako popredná autorita v oblasti prvého dodatku a jeho vplyvné písanie naďalej rezonuje medzi čitateľmi, ktorí si cenia slobodu a spravodlivosť.

Who would have believed that The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn could cause the worst crisis in the history of George Mason High School? Certainly not Barney Roth, editor of the school paper. But when a small but vocal group of students and parents decide that the book is racist, sexist, and immoral--and should be removed from reading lists and the school library--Barney takes matters into his own hands. When the Huck Finn issue comes up for a hearing, Barney decides to print his story about previous censorship efforts at school. He's sure that investigative reporting and publicity can help the cause. But is he too late to turn the tide of censorship?
