About the book
"1920, socialist leader Eugene V. Debs ran for president while serving a ten-year jail term for speaking against America's role In World War I. Though many called Debs a traitor, others praised him as a prisoner of conscience, a martyr to the cause of free speech. Nearly a million Americans agreed, voting for a man whom the government had branded an enemy to his country." "In this narrative, Ernest Freeberg shows that the campaign to send Debs from an Atlanta jailhouse to the White House was part of a wider national debate over the right to free speech in wartime."--BOOK JACKET.
