Good history of freedom of speech since the days of Ancient Greece and of press freedom since the printing press was invented, told from a pro-free speech perspective. An amazing amount of alternating progress and regress through the ages. Some interesting analysis about the state of press freedoms during the beginning of communism in Russia and the beginnings of Naziism in Germany, and how that affected those transitions.
