Excerpt from Debs Goes to Prison
The decision is perfectly consistent with the character of the Supreme Court as a ruling class tribunal. It could not have been otherwise. So far as I am personally con cerned, the decision is of small consequence. But there is an issue at stake of vital interest to the American people. It involves the fundamental right of free speech. Without this, our boasted freedom is a delusion and a farce.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the remarkable story of the notorious trial and imprisonment of Eugene Victor Debs, an iconic socialist leader and one of the most influential political prisoners of the 20th century. Accused of sedition for speaking out against World War I, Debs's case became a lightning rod for debate over free speech and the limits of dissent in wartime America. The author provides a comprehensive account of the events leading up to Debs's arrest, trial, and subsequent ten-year sentence, drawing on extensive interviews with Debs and his contemporaries. Through vivid descriptions of courtroom proceedings and behind-the-scenes negotiations, this book offers a compelling glimpse into the legal and political machinations that shaped Debs's fate. Beyond the legal drama, this book explores the profound impact of Debs's imprisonment on his personal life and political legacy. The author delves into the psychological toll of incarceration on Debs, as well as the ways in which his imprisonment galvanized the American left and transformed Debs into a revered symbol of labor activism and social justice Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
