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"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aHistory of communication. 606 $aNational security$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States$xCriminal provisions 606 $aPolitical crimes and offenses$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aFreedom of the press$zUnited States$xCriminal provisions 615 0$aNational security$xLaw and legislation$xCriminal provisions. 615 0$aPolitical crimes and offenses$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aFreedom of the press$xCriminal provisions. 676 $a342.730853 700 $aEngelman$b Ralph$01640158 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822527803321 996 $aA century of repression$94089595 997 $aUNINA
