Books by Charles Fried

Taking the reader up to and through such controversial Supreme Court decisions as the Texas sodomy case and the University of Michigan affirmative action case, Fried sets out to make sense of the main topics of constitutional law: the nature of doctrine, federalism, separation of powers, freedom of expression, religion, liberty, and equality.

Elevating the torture and privacy debate, this book brilliantly challenges the knee-jerk responses of those in media and government.

"An erudite, sharp-tongued libertarian, eager to do battle with censors, regulators ... and sanctimonious busybodies of every stripe."-New York Times
