Description

Book Synopsis
Touching on the major sedition trials while expanding the discussion beyond the usual focus on freedom of speech and the press to include the treatment of immigrants, Halperin's book provides a window through which readers can explore the meaning of freedom of speech, immigration, citizenship, the public sphere, the Constitution, and the Union.

Trade Review
The book is well researched and extremely well written. And it is teachable-one of the best short texts this reviewer knows of for undergraduate courses in early US history. Highly recommended. Choice an important and intriguing book Forbes
