""This book should be read by everyone who cares about the truth. The stories make for spellbinding reading as we learn about the trials of investigative reporting, but they also are a potent reminder that in times such as these, we need our "muckrakers" more than ever.” —South Florida Sun Sentinel“Pertinent and timely. . . . Provides a vital perspective on the First Amendment right to a free press and its endangered status today.” —School Library Journal“If members of the general public read this book, they will be appalled... timely and essential reading.”—Publishers Weekly “All these pieces are interesting, and a couple are fascinating...some of this material is alarming.”—New York Review of Books “Searing accounts of…personal battles with the pressures of censorship. The writing is, as might be expected, riveting. . .this book is recommended.”—Quill & Scroll “The first edition of this book appeared during the early months of the Bush administrations' war on terror. Since then, the climate for investigative journalism has only become more repressive. This updated edition...adds about 80 pages of new material...Highly recommended.”—Library Journal
