Publisher's Synopsis
Freedom of Speech in War Time is a book written by Zechariah Chafee Jr. in 1919. The book discusses the limitations on free speech during times of war and how they are often used to suppress dissenting opinions. Chafee argues that the government should not be allowed to restrict free speech unless it poses a clear and present danger to national security. He examines various court cases and laws that have been used to limit free speech during wartime, including the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918. Chafee also explores the role of the media in shaping public opinion during wartime and the importance of protecting the rights of individuals to express their opinions freely. Overall, Freedom of Speech in War Time is a thought-provoking exploration of the tension between national security and individual liberties in times of crisis.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
