The Debs Decision (1919)

Bag om The Debs Decision (1919)

The Debs Decision is a book written by Scott Nearing and published in 1919. The book is a detailed account of the landmark Supreme Court case, Debs v. United States, which dealt with the issue of free speech and the right to dissent during World War I. The case involved Eugene V. Debs, a prominent socialist and labor leader, who was convicted of violating the Espionage Act of 1917 for delivering a speech that criticized the war effort and the government's handling of it. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the case, including the legal arguments made by both sides, the political and social context of the time, and the implications of the court's decision for civil liberties and democracy. Nearing, a noted economist and social activist, was a strong advocate for free speech and civil rights, and his book reflects his commitment to these values. The Debs Decision is an important historical document that sheds light on a critical moment in American history and the ongoing struggle for freedom of expression and dissent.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
