In my last book, Real Heroes: Inspiring True Stories of Courage, Character and Conviction, I wrote about 40 individuals whose views, decisions and actions served this cause in various ways. They are passionate not solely for their own liberty, but for that of others as well. They inspire others to a noble and universal cause-that all people should be free to live their lives in peace so long as they do no harm to the equal rights of others. They hail from all nationalities, races, faiths and creeds. Heroes for liberty are not peculiar to any region of the world or to a particular time period or to one sex.
