It details government use of the Act to control information about U.S. military and foreign policy during the two World Wars, the Cold War and the War on Terror. The Act has provided cover for the settling of political scores, illegal break-ins and prosecutorial misconduct. The cases of Eugene Debs, John S. Service, Daniel Ellsberg, Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, and Julian Assange, among others, reveal the threat posed to whistleblowers, government critics, and journalists alike. The treatment of the Act's trajectory also offers new perspectives on American liberalism as well as the evolution of the FBI and the civil liberties movement in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries"--Provided by publisher.History of communication.National securityLaw and legislationUnited StatesCriminal provisionsPolitical crimes and offensesLaw and legislationUnited StatesFreedom of the pressUnited StatesCriminal provisionsNational securityLaw and legislationCriminal provisions.Political crimes and offensesLaw and legislationFreedom of the pressCriminal provisions.342.730853Engelman Ralph1518466MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910795994303321A century of repression3845442UNINA
