Industry Reviews
"Strub elucidates the duplicity and paradoxes in attitudes toward sexuality in the United States by examining the ups and downs of related law. Highly recommended to those interested in free speech and obscenity, as well as to those interested in publishing, law, and culture, and the U.S. Supreme Court."—Library Journal
"Whitney Strub offers a valuable and insightful analysis of the Roth case and the evolution of American obscenity doctrine. It is thorough, written with his usual flair, and thoughtful. In sum, this is an impressive book that makes a significant contribution to the literature."—Journal of American Studies
"Strub combines a sweeping review of American history with the richness of biography and insightful analysis. He offers a deep and subtle understanding of the most significant Supreme Court case on obscenity, as well as a profound commentary on the complex, contradictory sexual politics of the decades since World War II."—John D'Emilio, coauthor of Intimate Matters: A History of Sexuality in America
"An important and meticulously researched study of the pivotal case in the Supreme Court's anguished attempts to balance the right of people to read, see, and hear what they wish against society's interest in protecting itself."—Laura Wittern-Keller, coauthor of The Miracle Case: Film Censorship and the Supreme Court
"A first-rate cultural history and an important contribution to understanding the unsteady course of First and Fourth Amendment freedoms in the United States."—Jay A. Gertzman, author of Samuel Roth, Infamous Modernist
