Book Description
From one of the country's most esteemed experts on the First Amendment and the author of the classic Gideon's Trumpet, an eloquent essay on the importance of freedom of expression.
More than any other people on earth, Americans are free to say and write what they think. The media can air the secrets of the White House, the boardroom, or the bedroom with little fear of punishment or penalty. The reason for this extraordinary freedom is not a superior culture of tolerance, but just fourteen words in our most fundamental legal document: the free expression clauses of the First Amendment to the Constitution.
In Lewis's telling, the story of how the right of free expression evolved along with our nation makes a compelling case for the adaptability of our constitution. Although Americans have gleefully and sometimes outrageously exercised their right to free speech since before the nation's founding, the Supreme Court did not begin to recognize this right until 1919. Freedom of speech and the press as we know it today is surprisingly recent. Anthony Lewis tells us how these rights were created, revealing a story of hard choices, heroic (and some less heroic) judges, and fascinating and eccentric defendants who forced the legal system to come face-to-face with one of America's great founding ideas.

评分有些时候，我喜欢一个人呆着，比如看书。看书于我而言是一个非常私密的时刻，只有在一个人的时候，才能放开心灵，遨游于文字的世界中，尽情体味痛苦与欢乐，怀想与追思，在宇宙所有的宏阔与细微处漫步。 最近一段时间，连续看了三本书，作者都是安东尼刘易斯，他是《纽约时报》...

其实想给九分。可以当作第一修正案的hornbook来看，归纳得很好，材料内容的选择也很准确，但总体来说可能信息量就会牺牲一点。

评分对题材感兴趣找来看，结果英文很难好多法律上的专业术语一度中断了想放弃，最近疫情的大环境下把它看完了，复杂长句子多，很多细节没看懂。但总体是很有趣的简史，包含各种相关的历史案例，从言论自由的适用范围，公共事务or个人，出版行业有没有特权，诽谤、煽动的裁定等等。“Even a false belief is valuable, because the process of debate about it may test and conform the truth of the opposing view.”
评分第一修正案簡史，liberty lies in people' heart; if it dies there, no constitution,no law, no court can save it.
评分写的很好。最近在stanford模拟法庭讨论的reading
