The American Civil Liberties Union partners with award-winning authors Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman in this “forceful, beautifully written” (Associated Press) collection that brings together many of our greatest living writers, each contributing an original piece inspired by a historic ACLU case.

On January 19, 1920, a small group of idealists and visionaries, including Helen Keller, Jane Addams, Roger Baldwin, and Crystal Eastman, founded the American Civil Liberties Union. A century after its creation, the ACLU remains the nation’s premier defender of the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution.

In collaboration with the ACLU, authors Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman have curated an anthology of essays “full of struggle, emotion, fear, resilience, hope, and triumph” (Los Angeles Review of Books) about landmark cases in the organization’s one-hundred-year history. Fight of the Century takes you inside the trials and the stories that have shaped modern life. Some of the most prominent cases that the ACLU has been involved in—Brown v. Board of Education, Roe v. Wade, Miranda v. Arizona—need little introduction. Others you may never even have heard of, yet their outcomes quietly defined the world we live in now. Familiar or little-known, each case springs to vivid life in the hands of the acclaimed writers who dive into the history, narrate their personal experiences, and debate the questions at the heart of each issue.

Hector Tobar introduces us to Ernesto Miranda, the felon whose wrongful conviction inspired the now-iconic Miranda rights—which the police would later read to the man suspected of killing him. Yaa Gyasi confronts the legacy of Brown v. Board of Education, in which the ACLU submitted a friend of- the-court brief questioning why a nation that has sent men to the moon still has public schools so unequal that they may as well be on different planets. True to the ACLU’s spirit of principled dissent, Scott Turow offers a blistering critique of the ACLU’s stance on campaign finance.

These powerful stories, along with essays from Neil Gaiman, Meg Wolitzer, Salman Rushdie, Ann Patchett, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Louise Erdrich, George Saunders, and many more, remind us that the issues the ACLU has engaged over the past one hundred years remain as vital as ever today, and that we can never take our liberties for granted.

Chabon and Waldman are donating their advance to the ACLU and the contributors are forgoing payment.

holds up, cleans well, looks good. what else do you want
Color: White, Size: 72"W x 84"L (Pack of 1)
I almost never write reviews, but for a random brand amazon product, this is high quality. I have a very tall shower so was struggling to find anything locally and ended up buying this. It looks nice, feels thick and sturdy but isn't super heavy so I don't have to worry about it pulling the tension rod down. It's opaque enough to not see through but lets enough light in. All that is kinda whatever, it's the functionality I was looking for but nothing to write home about. The thing is, my plastic inner curtain liner is way too short, maybe by like 6 inches. After a year of use, this left an area exposed to water, shower products etc. and it got pretty grimey. I was thinking I'd need to replace it but decided to try and bleach the bejeezus out of it and then let it sit in hot soapy dr bronners water. Now it's basically good as new. Idk if you could throw it in a washer, I personally wouldn't but this worked great. I respect a cheap product that does it's job, looks good, and cleans easily. You do need an inner liner though unless you're ready to bleach it frequently. Or you don't care about stains at all, that's your prerogative.
