This is the story of the translators, editors, journalists, publishers, promoters and booksellers who first brought Freud to American readers. They included scientists and scoundrels, reckless risk-takers and buttoned-down businessmen, puritans and libertines, anarchists and capitalists, passionate freedom fighters and racist bigots. American publishers, Freud wrote to one colleague, are a dangerous breed. Elsewhere he called them rascals, liars, swindlers, crooks, and pirates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   Here are accounts of their drunken parties, political crusades, questionable business practices, criminal prosecutions, shameless marketing, and blatant plagiarism.

Ideas that Freud promoted are woven so tightly into our daily lives today that, like gravity or air, we hardly notice them.
