""The Trial of Scott Nearing and the American Socialist Society"" is a historical account of the trial of Scott Nearing and members of the American Socialist Society in 1919. The book is written by Morris Hillquit, a prominent socialist and lawyer who defended Nearing in court. The trial was a result of the government's crackdown on socialist and leftist groups during the Red Scare period. Nearing and his co-defendants were accused of advocating for the overthrow of the government and promoting anti-war sentiments during World War I. The book provides a detailed analysis of the trial proceedings, the arguments made by the prosecution and defense, and the political climate of the time. It also offers insights into the broader struggle for free speech and civil liberties in the United States. Hillquit's book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of socialism and leftist politics in America, as well as the legal and political challenges faced by dissenting voices during times of political repression.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
