| 內容簡介： |
From the best-selling author of The Working Poor, an
impassioned, incisive look at the violations of civil liberties in
the United States that have accelerated over the past decade—and
their direct impact on our lives.
How have our rights to privacy and justice been undermined? What
exactly have we lost? Pulitzer Prize–winner David K. Shipler
searches for the answers to these questions by examining the
historical expansion and contraction of our fundamental rights and,
most pointedly, the real-life stories of individual men and women
who have suffered. With keen insight and telling detail he
describes how the Supreme Court’s constitutional rulings play on
the streets as D.C. police officers search for guns in poor African
American neighborhoods, how a fruitless search warrant turns the
home of a Homeland Security employee upside down, and how the
secret surveillance and jailing of an innocent lawyer result from
an FBI lab mistake. Each instance—shocking and compelling—is a
clear illustration of the risks posed to individual liberties. And,
in Shipler’s hands, each serves as a powerful incitement for a
retrieval of these precious rights.
A brilliant, immeasurably important book for our time.
