A salute to freedom, the book features 20 objects selected from NYPL collections as emblematic of the price people have paid through the centuries for their beliefs. Each of them -- from Galileo's 'Dialogo' to the Declaration of Independence to a handbill calling for a hunger strike at Tiananmen Square -- tells a powerful personal story of sacrifice for freedom.
