This book is a virtual encyclopedia about the topic covering the rise of the movement with detailed information on issues, organizations, and leaders.
Religion and its contribution, however, is unmentioned even though it has had a significant impact. Notes of interest include the fact that talking books predated LPs by 14 years and the increasing role of health care to baby boomers. Called a “stealth” movement, there is a constant need for informed and youthful leadership to be recruited for the disability rights movement.
