Sullivan</em>.</p>&#9;&#10;<p>Including a foreword by Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton and an afterword by longtime free speech champion Nadine Strossen <em>Defending My Enemy</em> offers razor-sharp analysis from the man Jameel Jaffer of the Knight First Amendment Institute describes as &#8220;an icon of justice and fearlessness.&#8221;</p>&#10;
