James Bovard is the author of 11 books, including the 1994 bestseller, Lost Rights: The Destruction of American Liberty. He is a member of the USA Today Board of Contributors, a frequent contributor to the New York Post, and has written for the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and many other publications. He is a senior fellow with the Libertarian Institute and a 2023 fellow with the Brownstone Insti-tute. His books have been translated into Spanish, Arabic, Japanese, and Korean. The Wall Street Journal called Bovard "the roving inspector general of the modern state," New York Times labeled him an "anti-czar Czar," and Washington Post columnist George Will called him a "one-man truth squad." His writings have been publicly denounced by the chief of the FBI, Secretary of Agriculture, Secre-tary of Housing and Urban Development, Secretary of Labor, Postmaster General, and the chiefs of the TSA, DEA, and FEMA. In 2015, the Justice Department sought to suppress his articles in USA Today. See less
