A lightweight though useful account of the campaign against soft-core pornography in Britain, led by the strange but familiar combination of Christian moral "crusaders" and anti-porn feminist "separatists".
Though light on scholarly references or in-depth analysis, the language throughout is suitably indignant at the many broad hypocrisies committed by the anti-porn lobby. Also includes a chapter on the American anti-porn feminist movement exemplified by Andrea Dworkin & Kathleen Mckinnon.
A good starting point for those interested in the porn/feminist/religious debate.
