Debs ran for president while serving a ten-year jail term for speaking against America's role in World War I. In this book, Freeberg shows that the campaign to send Debs from an Atlanta jailhouse to the White House was part of a wider national debate over the right to free speech in wartime. In this story of democracy on trial, Freeberg excavates an extraordinary episode in the history of one of America's most prized ideals.SocialistsUnited StatesBiographyFreedom of speechUnited StatesHistorySocialistsFreedom of speechHistory.335/.3092BFreeberg Ernest1144953MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778162103321Democracy's prisoner3693274UNINA
