One of the best books of the year March 4, 2008
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
"Today's American: How Free?" answers the question in more than ten categories that Americans care about.
How are we doing on liberties? How well is our electoral system functioning? How are we doing on long-standing issues like race and equality? How strong are America's institutions of government, law enforcement, labor, media, and independent civil society?
One of the best non-fiction books of 2008, "Today's American" arrives in the middle of an important election year, generating sustained debate and media interest across the country and world, and is perhaps the most important survey ever released by the venerable human rights organization. Read it to participate in one of the most important conversations gong on in the United States.
