Description:
Gary finds that two main problems faced liberal intellectuals and government officials during the period. The first revolved around the question of how to resuscitate democratic theory in an age of propaganda. The second, more concretely focused on security concerns, was how to protect US society from anti-democratic ideas and activities. While focusing on the intellectual debates, he also describes the institutional response to propaganda, especially the Justice Department's protective barrier between the American people and ideas deemed to be dangerous.
