Taking Liberties: Four Decades in the Struggle for Rights

In this memoir, Neier talks about his pioneering work for human rights, beginning at a time when no college courses dealt with civil liberties nor were there career apprenticeships related to civil rights abuses. In reflecting upon the consequences of some of his endeavors, including how he might have done things differently, he shows how many of the movements he took part in triumphed against difficult odds and offers a perspective on how best to go about preserving fundamental freedoms.
