"One strength of From a Whisper to a Movement is its exigency—this is an important topic now. An edited collection on whistleblowing is an important contribution to the fields of rhetoric, politics, and human rights. Especially today when speaking truth to power on the right side of history is increasingly difficult." — Belinda Walzer, Appalachian State University
