Summary	This book places the current attacks on the right of free speech in their proper historical, legal, and political context. The United States was born in an age of rage and for 250 years we have periodically lost sight of the value of free expression. The history of the struggle for free speech is the story of extraordinary people-nonconformists who refuse to yield to abusive authority-and here is a mosaic of vivid characters and controversies. Jonathan Turley takes readers through the figures and failures that have shaped us and then shows the unique dangers of our current moment. The alliance of academic, media, and corporate interests with the government's traditional wish to control speech has put us on an almost irresistible path toward censorship. Turley reminds us that we remain a nation grappling with the implications of free expression and with the limits of our tolerance for the speech of others -- Provided by the publisher
