America'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.
