Democracy, If We Can Keep It: The Aclu's 100-year Fight for Rights in America

Siyaset ve Hükümet

Published to coincide with the ACLU&;s centennial, a major book by the nationally celebrated journalist and bestselling author For a century, the American Civil Liberties Union has fought to keep Americans in touch with the founding values of the Constitution. As its centennial approached, the organization invited Ellis Cose to become its first ever writer-in residence, serving as an &;embedded journalist&; with complete editorial independence. The result is Cose&;s groundbreaking Democracy, If We Can Keep It: The ACLU and Its 100-Year Battle for Our Rights, the most authoritative account ever of America&;s premier defender of civil liberties. A vivid work of history and journalism, Democracy, If We Can Keep It is not just the definitive story of the ACLU but also an essential account of America&;s rediscovery of rights it had granted but long denied. Cose&;s narrative begins with World War I and brings us to today, chronicling the ACLU&;s role through the horrors of 9/11, the saga of Edward Snowden, and the phenomenon of Donald Trump. A chronicle of America&;s most difficult ethical quandaries from the Red Scare, the Scottsboro Boys&; trials, Japanese American internment, McCarthyism, and Vietnam, Democracy, If We Can Keep It weaves these accounts into a deeper story of American freedom&;one that is profoundly relevant to our present moment.
