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.

Don't Be Fooled By The Title On The Box🩷
Scent: Citrus
Let me simply say that I KNOW this soap is the "real deal". I am not one to give an average product an excellent rating. When I spend my money on a product, I write about the positive (if any) as well as the negative. Since being sick from 2015 to 2019, my skin tone changed from a medium "sienna" to having an unnatural ashy cast that that makes me always look ill although I am well ,now. When I looked at myself in the mirror in natural light, that "ashy cast" to my complexion didn't look healthy or attractive. I had come to accept that this would probably be an issue the rest of my life. I am a lady that never used foundation makeup but, decided to try it as a last resort. Using foundation makeup only made me look worse. I accidently came across this item while searching for another type of soap. When it arrived and I saw "Men's Soap Set" on the box 👀😩, I was devasted. I had ordered something that I never intended to order. I was about to return the item when I heard a clear message in my mind directing me to try the soap. Several months ago, I prayed and asked Our Creator and Lord to make my complexion healthy in appearance. That prayer came back to mind and I tried the soap without any further hesitation. I wasn't expecting anything but, to my surprise the soap immediately started removing that "ashy cast" from my face. Let me make it crystal clear that I had tried dozens of other soaps and products that did absolutely nothing to help. I have only used this soap once. As I write this review it is almost 7:00pm ET and I haven't turned the lights on inside of the house yet. I glanced at myself in the mirror and I can see myself and that healthy tone coming back. My prayer has been answered and I'm beginning to look healthy again! As for this soap, I couldn't ask for a better value for the money. This soap is of amazing quality. I will continue to use it. Don't be fooled by what's written on the box. This soap is for ladies as well. I can only speak about my personal experience but, it's a superior product in my opinion and definitely worth a try for anyone that has had an unnatural change in complexion. I give it five SUPER SIZED stars!!! 🩷🩷🩷

You'll be disappointed if you want pine scented soap.
Scent: Cedar
Has a mild scent, and not very pine like. I was disappointed. Grandpa's is still the best. I'm going to melt down the remaining three bars of this soap and add my own pine oil. The soap quality is good; long lasting bars that lather well.
