Perilous Times: Free Speech in Wartime from the Sedition Act of 1798 to the War on Terrorism

This necessary and timely book investigates how the First Amendment and other civil liberties have been compromised in America during wartime. Stone focuses on six periods beginning with the Sedition Act of 1798 and ending with an examination of the state of civil liberties in the Bush era. With a dramatic cast of characters including presidents, Supreme Court justices, and resisters, and filled with rare photographs and posters, this work is resonant in its call for a new approach in our response to grave crises.
