Democracy's Prisoner by Ernest Freeberg
A concise narrative of the wartime prosecution and imprisonment of Socialist leader Eugene V. Debs for his antiwar speech, examining how the federal government used the Espionage and Sedition laws to suppress dissent during World War I, the legal and political battles that followed, and how Debs’s incarceration turned him into a potent symbol of civil liberties and a catalyst for debates about the fragility of democratic freedoms in times of national crisis.
