If you want to read a book on surgery, would you want one written by an academic who never entered an operating theater? Or a book on how to hit that elusive knuckleball, by one who wrote from the cheap seats and never hit a major league pitch? How about a book on classroom education written by an education philosopher rather than someone who gets her hands dirty in the classroom on a daily basis?

You get the point. If you want to read about the First Amendment, you’d want the book written by a man whose name is virtually synonymous—Floyd Abrams. And that’s not hyperbole. As the great Edward Bennett Williams was “The Man To See” for anyone with high stakes in a criminal forum, Abrams is that “Man” when First Amendment principles are at stake, even on unpopular subjects.
