Böcker av Robert Justin Goldstein

The nineteenth century was a time of great economic, social and political change. This book summarizes on a pan-European basis, the major techniques of repression such as the denial of popular franchise and press censorship. It presents a chronological survey of these techniques from 1815 - 1914 in each European country.

A history of the dark side of the "land of the free", this book covers both famous and little-known examples of governmental repression, including the Haymarket affair, the repression of opposition to World War I, the McCarthy period, and post-World War II abuses of the intelligence agencies.

Political Censorship of the Arts and the Press in Nineteenth-Century Europe presents a comprehensive account of the attempts by authorities throughout Europe to stifle the growth of political opposition during the nineteenth-century by censoring newspapers, books, caricatures, plays, operas and film.
