Description: "American Rebels is an anthology of specially commissioned essays by leading American writers on individuals who reconciled authentic patriotism with original artistic creation, unpopular opinion, and real moral principles. It includes rebels in politics, education, journalism, religion, literature, film, sports, music, law, popular culture, and social struggle, all of whom struggled against conformity, commercialism, racism, oligarchy, conventional wisdom, stacked decks, and sacred cows."--Jacket.
