About This Item
Laurel-Leaf Books. Good. 1983. 0440918146 . An edition in good condition. 7/8", round, smiley face stamp on inside-front-cover; unobtrusive. Shelf-wear to edges and corners of the cover. Front-panel art is pretty good. Moderate shelf-wear, but not heavily rubbed or scratched. Spine not cracked or broken. Age-toning on text-block edges, just fading into the pages. Pages and binding still solid; binding is still supple and pages are not brittle. First Laurel-Leaf printing. ; In the late 1940s, Nat Hentoff was a young, ambitious journalist working for the liberal magazine The Village Voice. He was covering the McCarthy hearings and the Red Scare, and he was outraged by the government's tactics.One day, Hentoff was called into a meeting with his bosses. They told him that the FBI had come to arrest him for espionage. Hentoff didn't believe them, but he knew that if he didn't cooperate, he could be arrested and imprisoned.This riveting book tells the story of Hentoff's arrest and the long fight that he and his friends waged to free him. It is a fascinating look at the era of McCarthyism and the fight for free speech in America. .
