About this book
In the early 20th century, a pivotal Supreme Court ruling challenged the boundaries of free speech amid rising tensions over World War I. "The Debs Decision" by Scott Nearing meticulously examines the case of Eugene V. Debs, a leading socialist figure convicted under the Espionage Act for his outspoken anti-war rhetoric. This document not only highlights the implications of government censorship but also raises critical questions about unalienable rights and the limits of civil liberties during wartime. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this compelling narrative invites readers to explore the intersections of justice, dissent, and democracy in a tumultuous era. Delve into "The Debs Decision" to understand the enduring struggle for free expression in America.
