byEric Berkowitz

Dangerous Ideas is Eric Berkowitz's historical account of a Brief History of Censorship in the West, from the Ancients to Fake News. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of history and political science. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
