Defending Rights describes the contemporary struggle for political and civil rights in the United States from the perspective of Frank Askin, General Counsel of the American Civil Liberties Union. It is a book that goes to the core of every American's basic concern—what is big government doing and are they doing it for us? It is a book about law and lawyers, and what one has to do with the other. It is also about politics and how individuals influence the establishment of public policy.

Rutgers Professor and General Counsel of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) describes milestones in his career, from his time on the streets, to later in the courts fighting anti-democratic policies and government abuse of individual rights. He writes of his legal challenges to surveillance practices of the US Army, CIA, and FBI, and how civil liberties lawyers work to make police agencies honor constitutional prohibitions against unreasonable search and seizure.
