The Tree of Liberty: A Documentary History of Rebellion and Political Crime in America: Volume 2: Cold War to New World Order
Baltimore, MD: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1998. 2nd Revised and Expanded Edition, First printing [stated]. Trade paperback. Volume 2 ONLY. xl, 395-843, [2] p. Illustrations. Bibliography. Concordance; Table of Cases. Proper Name Index. This is a legal, hitosrical, social and psychological inquiry into rebellions and political crimes, their causes, suppression, and punishment in the United States. This monumental work, now in a second, expanded edition that includes new material on the Iran Contra affair, David Koresh, Ruby Ridge, and the Unibomber, recounts the uninterrupted and ongoing story of dissent, disobedience, violence, and rebellion in America. Built around a collection of more than 400 documents that span an extraordinary range, both in time and in kind, The Tree of Liberty forcefully documents how challenges to government and authority have shaped the nation's thought, history, and freedom. An introductory note places each document in its historical context; read together, these headnotes constitute a narrative history of dissent in the United States. The book's full concordance enables readers to trace the development of specific issues--terrorism or states' rights, civil disobedience or assassination--through the country's past and present. Condition: Very good. No dust jacket as issued. Cover has minor wear and soiling.
