Description:

American citizens enjoy the greatest array of freedom citizens of the world have ever known-but post 9/11, they may be threatened to the greatest degree in American history. What are your rights and freedoms? In this age of terrorism, how far can the government go as it seeks to balance the desire for the free society against the need for national security? Every aspect of life, from cradle to grave, is part of the delicate dance between what's best for the individual and what's best for the country. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Your Civil Libertiesoffers cutting-edge guidance on what you can do-and what you can't.
