Great book with some amazing people to learn about and be inspired by! My kids and I had great discussions regarding each chapter—the person/people presented, the issue they were standing up for, the political forces or cultural prejudices involved, what happened to these people for doing what they believed was right, etc. There were a handful that I didn’t even know about, so we all learned a lot.
Really loved this whole book, except for the chapter about Edward Snowden. Didn’t seem to fit with the rest of the book. Otherwise, a great look at some brave people, most of whom are usually ignored by similar secular books.
