Democracy, If We Can Keep It

Meer over het boek

Chronicling a century of civil liberties advocacy, this book offers a detailed account of the ACLU's pivotal role in upholding constitutional rights from World War I to contemporary issues like 9/11 and the Trump era. Through a blend of history and journalism, it explores significant ethical challenges, including the Red Scare and Japanese American internment, while highlighting America's ongoing struggle to reclaim rights often overlooked. The narrative serves as both a history of the ACLU and a reflection on the current state of American freedom.
