Harger presents both sides of each debate and includes a detailed and well-cited narrative. Although at times an indictment of ALA's actions and policies, overall this account is an education and call to action for librarians to uphold their principles...engaging and surprisingly frank...suitable for all --<i>Library Journal</i>; each selection is illustrative of [Harger's] commitment to inform the generations of library professionals who have followed her that there is no progress if actions do not follow words and demonstrate the power dynamics that are frequently in play inside organizations. A fiery call to arms. --<i>Booklist</i>.
