Description

Peters (journalism and mass communication, U. of Wisconsin- Madison) depicts how the multiple attacks on Jehovah's Witnesses during the 1930s and 40s (for their unwillingness to salute the flag or enter the military) and the Witnesses' resultant responses in the courts, provided a necessary precursor to the American civil rights movement. He explores the roles of the ACLU and many individual Witnesses to illustrate the politics and personalities behind their efforts to gain 1st Amendment freedoms. Annotation c.
