From the Publisher:
Praise for James Bovard's Lost Rights: The Destruction of American Liberty:
About the Author:
"Remarkable...Mr. Bovard's unrivaled research has resulted in a virtual encyclopedia of modern government abuse." --The Wall Street Journal
"There may be no more cogent critic of today's welfare state than journalist James Bovard...Lost Rights is his finest work yet." --National Review
"A gold mine...a virtually bottomless pit of government incompetence, dishonesty or outright repression at all levels." --The Washington Times
"I would go out of my way to recommend the remarkable book--400 densely packed pages about the mounting war on poverty and contract, the tyranny of taxation, and the growth of federal power in the guise of expanding our rights. In this field, Bovard is surely the leading researcher in the country...Brilliant!" --American Spectator
"Chilling...James Bovard has collected in one volume the evidence of what Americans' willingness to trade freedom for security has cost them...Bovard's catalogue of petty tyrannies is worth your attention. Read it to be reminded why eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." --Los Angeles Daily News
James Bovard is a frequent contributor to the Wall Street Journal, Playboy, and the American Spectator and has also written for The New York Times, Reader's Digest, New Republic, Washington Post, and Newsweek. He is one of Washington's most controversial journalists. Since 1993, his writings have been publicly denounced by FBI Directory Louis Freeh, the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, the White House AIDS czar, as well as the Chiefs of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and U.S. International Trade Commission. He is the author of Lost Rights: The Destruction of American Liberty (St. Martin's Press, 1994), as well as Shakedown (1995), The Fair Trade Fraud (1991), and The Farm Fiasco (1989).
