Book Synopsis


Trade Review

“Downs . . . presents a political, constitutional, philosophical, psychological, and sociological examination of the First Amendment issues involved in the Skokie incident. This case study of assaultive speech is profound, yet simply and clearly written. Highly recommended.” —Choice


"Mr. Downs raises points civil libertarians must consider; his book is comprehensive, knowledgeable, fair and readable." —New York Times Book Review


“Downs has given us a thoughtful, solid work that is informed by a sense of constitutional law, by a feeling for the people involved, and by an appreciation of history as living conscience.” —American Bar Foundation Research Journal
