This book, written by an attorney general with an influential role during the U.S.'s involvement in World War I, explores how civil rights were upheld in a time of heightened national sentiment. The author recounts the balance between protecting the nation's safety and safeguarding individual liberty during an era of fear and uncertainty, when the nation relied on the loyalty of its citizens and the enforcement of wartime laws. The author discusses the multitude of ways that wartime emotion was used to justify prejudice and repression, particularly toward German immigrants and pacifists. The book examines how the nation's legal framework held up under the strain of wartime necessity, the ways in which the public's trust in the government's capacity for justice remained strong, and the complexities of American ideals of fairness during troubled times.
