Rights at risk : the limits of liberty in modern America

Shipler, David K., 1942- author

نظرة عامة

With telling anecdote and detail, Pulitzer Prize-winner David K. Shipler explores the territory where the Constitution meets everyday America, where legal compromises -- before and since 9/11 -- have undermined the criminal justice system's fairness, enhanced the executive branch's power over citizens and immigrants, and impaired some of the freewheeling debate and protest essential in a constitutional democracy. Shipler demonstrates how these violations tamper with America's safety in unexpected ways. While a free society takes risks to observe rights, denying rights creates other risks. Often shocking, yet ultimately idealistic. Rights at Risk shows us the shadows of America where the civil liberties we rightly take for granted have been eroded -- and summons us to reclaim them.
