For anyone who is enjoying the sexual openness of our current society this book is a must read. It races the trials and tribulations of those who pushed to boundaries of government censorship of adult materials and describes some of the movements which contributed to today's disparate groups advocating alternative sexuality.
The battle is not yet won and knowing what has gone before will aid in continuing the fight for individual freedoms with regard to human sexuality.
