UNRAVELING FREEDOM

Beginning with the sinking of the Lusitania and how the ensuing hysteria helped draw the United States into World War I, this gripping book uses World War I as a case study to pose a compelling question: Where do Americans draw the line of justice and civil liberties in times of war? Drawing thought-provoking parallels with President Wilson’s government and other wartime administrations, from FDR to George W. Bush, author Ann Bausum’s exhaustive research turns up astonishing first-person stories and rare images, and the full-color design is fresh and stunning.
