 Francis W. Hirst: LIBERTY AND TYRANNYFrancis W. Hirst grasped the dangerous political climate between the two world wars better than almost any other thinker. Astonished by blindness to the perils presented by Germany and Italy, and even more so by his peer's admiration of the U.S.S.R., Hirst published this classic in 1935 as "a reasoned defence of political and civil liberty." Hirst's admiration for Milton, Locke, Mill, and Lord Acton reverberates through this review of the growth of political liberty in England, followed by an analysis of tyranny, "a weed that may grow in any age." Hirst also presents essays on freedom of thought and discusses freedom of speech in America.Retail Price: $59.00 |
