The First Freedom The Tumultuous History of Free Speech in America by Nat Hentoff (read 26 Oct 2022) This book was published in 1980--more than 40 years ago--but I found it actually not out-of-date so far as I could tell. It names many cases but I was appalled that there is not a legal citation in the book. I know the author is not a lawyer but it would have been easy to make his book better by giving the legal citation of the many cases he refers to. The author was a strong and able proponent of free speech and he well sets out the case for free speech even if the speech is distasteful and repulsive. I think the legal situation as to free speech is still today as he indicates it was 40 years ago. Since it is over 70 years ago that I had a course in constitutional law and and it was not a big factor in the years I was a lawyer and judge I think I learned something by reading the book and so I am glad I did.
