Character Under Attack is Mr. Sommer's response to the strong opposition he has faced when soliciting his character building books to the public entities that are supposed to be open and nonbiased. His boook outlines the strong opposition he has faced, the philosophical battle we all face, the anticulturalism we all face, and the need for a strong character education movement.

His book is interesting and makes one ponder his premis.
