While Lewis provides an in-depth account of a pivotal moment in First Amendment history, the thorough detailing of the Sullivan case can also be the one aspect that detracts from this book appealing to all readers. Lewis's storytelling, at times, can become ensnared in a little too much legal detail. But for those interested in journalism, law, and/or free speech in America, the book provides a thought-provoking way to learn First Amendment history beyond the standard textbook synopsis that most people forget once they finish their schooling.
