Reviews
"A terrific piece of work by one of our very best historians. Written with verve and authority, it provides a masterful account of a little-known story with powerful implications for the subsequent history of free speech."-- Peter S. Onuf , author of Jefferson's Empire: The Language of American Nationhood "A fast-paced, brilliant, readable book that takes on one of the most important problems in republican government: when is opposition thought and dissenting rhetoric so dangerous that fundamental liberties need to be surrendered to ensure the security of all? Hoffer brings fresh insight to bear on this classic dilemma."-- Douglas Bradburn , author of The Citizenship Revolution: Politics and the Making of the American Union, A terrific piece of work by one of our very best historians. Written with verve and authority, it provides a masterful account of a little-known story with powerful implications for the subsequent history of free speech.-- Peter S. Onuf , author of Jefferson's Empire: The Language of American Nationhood A fast-paced, brilliant, readable book that takes on one of the most important problems in republican government: when is opposition thought and dissenting rhetoric so dangerous that fundamental liberties need to be surrendered to ensure the security of all?

Hoffer brings fresh insight to bear on this classic dilemma."- Douglas Bradburn , author of The Citizenship Revolution: Politics and the Making of the American Union, "This little-known story is written with authority and would be an appropriate volume for students of history interested in press freedom, courses relating to legal history, and law school courses."-- Journalism History "Hoffer closes with the warning that 'the liberties we cherish are not always proof against power and partisanship' and the admonition that this 'lesson must be taught to each generation of Americans, especially those who apply and interpret our laws.' Surely, this book will help us accomplish that task."-- Law and Politics Book Review "The Alien and Sedition Acts, passed during the presidency of John Adams, are both a well-known and underexplored episode in US history. In this engaging book, Hoffer fills in the details of the legislative debates over limiting the "licentious" press of the founding era and explains how the notorious new laws were applied by Federalist Party officials against their political opponents. An impressive addition to the invaluable 'Landmark Cases' series from the University Press of Kansas, Hoffer's book makes a lively contribution to readers' understanding of the roots of contemporary ideas about freedom of the press."-- Choice "Hoffer recounts bundles of history with scholarly skill, summarily citing some 100 major primary and secondary sources dating from 1777 to 2011. And he does all this with nuanced conciseness as he parades the notables of the history of American press freedom onto the stage of his very readable narrative including the likes of Benjamin Bache, Andrew Hamilton, Matthew Lyon, Albert Gallatin, Thomas Cooper, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison. It is quite an achievement, one that makes the book particularly attractive for use in college classes and law-school courses. . . . an extraordinary book."-- First Amendment Center
