America's War on Sex: The Attack on Law, Lust and LibertyAmerica's War on Sex: The Attack on Law, Lust and Liberty

Spotlights the political, legal and civic battles raging in this country against what is arguably our most private and pluralistic right - sexual freedom.
Although Klein does not provide an easy fix to the vexing problems posed by erotophobes, crusaders, the Christian-American Taliban, or religious terrorists, terms not guaranteed to assuage the opposition, he does offer sufficient examples of the war on our fundamental liberties to energize even the most laid-back of his readers. This book will infuriate people on both ends of the political spectrum, if for different reasons.
