An easy to read and engaging biography of this not well-known American hero of liberty, science, human rights, and irreligion.

The short, concise book is a good introduction to Ingersoll if you know little of him and is also interesting to Ingersoll-philes by organizing the chapters thematically around the causes and issues he advocated.
