Book Discussion Group Forming

Vol. 1, No. 6--December 23, 2004

Professor Geoffrey R. Stone announces the creation of an online forum for people who are interested in leading or organizing discussions about his new book, PERILOUS TIMES: Free Speech in Wartime, From the Sedition Act of 1798 to the War on Terrorism (W.W. Norton).

Each time the United States has gone to war, there has been pressure to limit speech and to curtail other precious liberties in the name of national security, and a countervailing pressure to maintain our freedoms. By delving into this country's complicated, often conflict-fraught history with these issues as recounted in PERILOUS TIMES, readers can become better prepared to reflect and act on the difficult civil liberties issues of today. More information can be found at www.periloustimes.us.

Participants in the forum can share information and resources and receive ongoing guidance and support as they bring the insights of the book to others. If you want to join, email . Use FORUM as the subject of your email and give your name and contact information in the message. A reply will follow.
