Darkest Before Dawn: Sedition and Free Speech in the American West New edition
Clemens P. Work
Takes to task Montana's 1918 sedition law that shut down freedom of speech. The sedition law carried fines of up to $20,000 and imprisonment for as much as twenty years. It became a model for the federal sedition act passed in 1918. This book explores the assault on civil rights during times of war when dissent is perceived as unpatriotic.
