Robert Justin Goldstein's "Political Repression in Modern America" provides the only comprehensive narrative account ever published of significant civil liberties violations concerning political dissidents since the rise of the post-Civil War modern American industrial state. A history of the dark side of the " land of the free," Goldstein's book covers both famous and little-known examples of governmental repression, including reactions to the early labor movement, the Haymarket affair, " little red scares" in 1908, 1935, and 1938-41, the repression of opposition to World War I, the 1919 " great red scare," the McCarthy period, and post-World War II abuses of the intelligence agencies. Enhanced with a new introduction and an updated bibliography, "Political Repression in Modern America" remains an essential record of the relentless intolerance that suppresses radical dissent in the United States.
