'A worthy exploration of the conflicts created when issues of free speech, publicity, and privacy intersect. The book will make a welcome addition to both general academic and law school libraries.' (Donna M. Fisher, Law Library Journal)

Ackerman does an admirable job of tying this case to the great issues of the mid-twentieth century. He uses Hellman and McCarthy as a pretext for fascinating digressions about John Dewey's commission on Leon Trotsky, the history of Latin instruction in America, and the culture's attitude toward abortion in the 1930s. -Franklin Foer, The New Republic -- Franklin Foer The New Republic A worthy exploration of the conflicts created when issues of free speech, publicity, and privacy intersect. The book will make a welcome addition to both general academic and law school libraries. -Donna M. Fisher, Law Library Journal -- Donna M. Fisher Law Library Journal
