Censorship by Julian Petley
When we think of the word censorship, we imagine blacked out words and authoritarian political regimes of the past. Offering a potted history of the phenomenon from the execution of Socrates in 399 BC to internet filtering, this book provides an impassioned manifesto for freedom of speech.
"This is an important and timely book and I recommend it to anyone who thinks that censorship belongs to the pages of history" * Tribune *
Julian Petley is professor of Film and Television at Brunel University. He is the author of several books on censorship, and has written for the Guardian and Independent.
