Hentoff's journey began in the 1950s, when he was a young reporter for The New Yorker. During that time, the United States was in the midst of the Cold War, and the government was engaged in a witch hunt against suspected communists. Hentoff witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of McCarthyism on American society, and he became determined to fight against any and all forms of censorship.

In the decades that followed, Hentoff became one of the nation's leading defenders of free speech. He fought against the government's attempts to suppress the publication of controversial books and films, and he defended the rights of students and teachers to express their views without fear of reprisal. Hentoff also wrote extensively about the importance of intellectual freedom in a democratic society, arguing that it is essential for the free exchange of ideas and the pursuit of truth.

My Seventy Years On The Frontiers Of Free Speech is a powerful and inspiring account of one man's lifelong fight for free speech and intellectual freedom. Hentoff's book is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of democracy in America.
