  • Description

    In each generation, for different reasons, America witnesses a tug of war between the instinct to suppress and the instinct for openness. Rather than waiting ten or fifteen years to point out what’s wrong with the current rush to limit civil liberties in the name of “national security,” these essays by top thinkers, scholars, journalists, and historians lift the veil on what is happening and why the implications are dangerous and disturbing and ultimately destructive of American values and ideals.
