Description
Examines First Amendment cases throughout history, discussing Yetta Stromberg, Dannie Martin, Raymond Procunier, Earl Caldwell, Larry Flynt, Clinton Fein, and others, and describing the impact of Communists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Ku Klux Klansmen, prison wardens, and others have had on First Amendment rights in the United States. Recounting controversial First Amendment cases from the Red Scare era to Citizens United, William Bennett Turner shows how we've arrived at our contemporary understanding of free speech. His strange cast of heroes and villains, some drawn from cases he litigated, includes Communists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Ku Klux Klansmen, the world's leading pornographer, prison wardens, dogged reporters, federal judges, a computer whiz, and a counterculture comedian. Offers a brief and insightful history of speaking up and facing the consequences.
