What Price Liberty? by Ben Wilson
What Price Liberty? takes us through four centuries of British, American and European history, elaborating not just how civil liberties were constructed in the past, but how they were continually rethought - and re-fought - in response to modernity, and puts into context the controversies of the past decade or so.
Ben Wilson was born in 1980 and studied history at Pembroke College, Cambridge - both as an undergraduate and postgraduate. His first book, The Laughter of Triumph: William Hone and the Fight for the Free Press, was published by Faber in 2005 to universal acclaim. This was followed in 2007 by Decency and Disorder: The Age of Cant 1789-1837.
