Make No Law: The Sullivan Case and the First Amendment, by Anthony Lewis (read 14 Dec 2001) This is a 1991 book dealing with the seminal case of New York Times v. Sullivan, and it is very good dealing with the events leading up to the case (a 1960 ad in the New York Times saying things about conditions in the South and seeking donations to aid the civil rights struggle), and the trial and the appeal. Anyone interested in libel law should read this book since it makes the famous case come alive. A thoroughly enjoyable book. Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
The First Amendment puts it this way: "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press." Yet, in 1960, a city official in Montgomery, Alabama, sued The New York Times for libel -- and was awarded $500,000 by a local jury -- because the paper had published an ad critical of Montgomery's brutal response to civil rights protests. The centuries of legal precedent behind the Sullivan case and the U.S. Supreme Court's historic reversal of the original verdict are expertly chronicled in this gripping and wonderfully readable book by the Pulitzer Prize -- winning legal journalist Anthony Lewis. It is our best account yet of a case that redefined what newspapers -- and ordinary citizens -- can print or say. From the Trade Paperback edition. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
