"Goldstein's rich analysis of the major Supreme Court decision in
Texas v. Johnson shows how the case pitted free speech rights
against regulations that prohibit the desecration of the US flag. .
. . This excellent volume also reflects on the "culture war" that
divides the participants in the flag desecration
debate."--Choice"Goldstein objectively tenders the legal positions
of the combatants as well as the attempts on each side to block
arguments and maneuvers either real or anticipated."--History:
Reviews of New Books"For a handy, accessible text appropriate for
general readership, and faithful to Goldstein's well-established
scrupulous attention to all his sources, this is the book for
you."--American Political Science Review
"Goldstein captures magnificently the essence of the landmark
flag-burning case, a conflict that crystallizes the ongoing
American debate over the core meaning of freedom of
speech."--Rodney A. Smolla, author of Free Speech in An Open
Society"A remarkable and indispensable work, Goldstein's definitive
history scrupulously presents both sides of the intense debates
over efforts to establish a constitutional amendment prohibiting
flag desecration."--Nat Hentoff, author of Living the Bill of
Rights"A masterful work of scholarship--and a very good read. It
should further enhance Goldstein's reputation as the nation's
leading constitutional authority on this subject."--Philippa Strum,
author of When the Nazis Came to Skokie: Freedom for Speech We Hate
