Описание: Founded by radicals in 1920, the American Civil Liberties Union experienced several key changes in its formative years. Judy Kutulas traces the history of the ACLU between 1930 and 1960, as the organization shifted from the fringe to the liberal mainstream of American society. In alternating chapters, Kutulas explores operations at the national level and among the group's local branches. To gain mainstream credibility, the radicals at ACLU headquarters became more professional, began using court challenges rather than direct action, and carefully chose their battles to focus on national security as much as on the protection of dissent. Meanwhile, the group's affiliates, separated from the institutionalization of the national office, maintained the idealism of defending the rights of all individuals, no matter how unpalatable their beliefs and activities. The shifts at the national level made the ACLU more government-friendly and less radical, but also, Kutulas argues, more timid and weak. Civil liberties activists in ACLU branches around the country ultimately pushed the organization to return to its radical roots in the 1960s. In an afterword, Kutulas addresses how post-9/11 America poses the familiar challenge of balancing national security and individual rights that came to the forefront in the early decades of the ACLU.
Описание: In Taking Liberties, Susan Herman spells out in vivid detail why all Americans should be worried about the governmental dragnet that has slowly and at times imperceptibly expanded its coverage over the American public. This book is a wake-up call for all Americans, who remain largely unaware of the post-9/11 surveillance regime`s insidious and continuing growth.
Описание: The Bill of Rights-the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution-are widely misunderstood by many Americans. This book explores the widely held myths about the Bill of Rights, how these myths originated, why they have persisted, and the implications for contemporary politics and policy.

Описание: This book is a revisionist account of the development of the Supreme Court`s modern civil liberties and civil rights jurisprudence. It explains that jurisprudence is the outgrowth of a sequence of highly particular progressive-reformist ideological currents, that formed the modern American state.
The Society of Jesus, the Jesuits, employed the Vatican, Austrian Prince Metternich and his St. Leopold Foundation to infiltrate the United States of America.
Samuel F.B. Morse spent several years in Europe, mostly near Rome, studying the actions and behaviors of the Jesuits, and conferring with dignitaries and others who had intimate knowledge of the Jesuits and their intrigues. Morse quickly realized this valuable information was known only to those outside America's borders, so he sought remedy by compiling his observations into a book that he would soon publish in America under the pseudonym Brutus.
When the Jesuits got wind of his book, they suppressed its publication, but not before Morse was able to get it into the hands of many prominent people of the day. In time, the book went into a second edition.
Adagio Press has revamped Mr. Morse's original book, with light editing, a new layout and design, plus a new cover.
