From one of the country's most esteemed experts on the First Amendment and the author of the classic Gideon's Trumpet, an eloquent essay on the importance of freedom of expression.
More than any other people on earth, Americans are free to say and write what they think. The media can air the secrets of the White House, the boardroom, or the bedroom with little fear of punishment or penalty. The reason for this extraordinary freedom is not a superior culture of tolerance, but just fourteen words in our most fundamental legal document: the free expression clauses of the First Amendment to the Constitution.
In Lewis's telling, the story of how the right of free expression evolved along with our nation makes a compelling case for the adaptability of our constitution. Although Americans have gleefully and sometimes outrageously exercised their right to free speech since before the nation's founding, the Supreme Court did not begin to recognize this right until 1919. Freedom of speech and the press as we know it today is surprisingly recent. Anthony Lewis tells us how these rights were created, revealing a story of hard choices, heroic (and some less heroic) judges, and fascinating and eccentric defendants who forced the legal system to come face-to-face with one of America's great founding ideas.

終於知道為什麼記者寫的歷史/社會科學類著作那麼有市場——他們會寫人話。很多學者的著作佶屈聱牙，但這本書讓我有種自己並不是文盲的錯覺（感動）。有點後悔沒有邊看邊做圖表，書中提到太多案例和法官的名字，看到後面開始忘了他們是誰😅 作者經常提到“他們英國人bla bla bla”、“他們保守派bla bla bla”，搞得我很想看看英國人和保守派到底是怎麼講的😂 另，剛發現有台版。兩個中文版的書名有點有趣...終於知道為什麼記者寫的歷史/社會科學類著作那麼有市場——他們會寫人話。很多學者的著作佶屈聱牙，但這本書讓我有種自己並不是文盲的錯覺（感動）。有點後悔沒有邊看邊做圖表，書中提到太多案例和法官的名字，看到後面開始忘了他們是誰😅 作者經常提到“他們英國人bla bla bla”、“他們保守派bla bla bla”，搞得我很想看看英國人和保守派到底是怎麼講的😂 另，剛發現有台版。兩個中文版的書名有點有趣。。。(展开)
这本书还没读过。以后肯定会读。躲在这本书的壳里的是a heart for freedom。作者是数十年前某次大型人员聚集的参与者和组织者，现居美国。前半部分年轻时代的个人生活描述更有可读性，尤其是提供了当时事件的具体过程和诸多细节。作者十多年前开始信教，用宗教来化解自己的心结和痛苦，大多数没有宗教信仰的人对这部分叙述和观点可能不能十分认同。
Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it. While it lies there it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it.读到书最后几章觉得很多问题可...Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it. While it lies there it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it.读到书最后几章觉得很多问题可能永远解决不了，读到书末却又觉得世界还有希望。明明是为准备GMAT而阅读，却仿佛自己是在备考LSAT。也许吧，以后真的会去读法学院也说不定。感谢这本书。(展开)

庆幸的是美国也曾经像我们一样不清醒；悲哀的是我们不仅没有也拒绝学习人家的经验教训。算是我的言论自由/自由主义/宪政的启蒙书目之一。

以第一修正案为线索，用大量的案件作为支撑对言论自由的各方面进行讨论，最后一章总结得真好。
