Reviews

It's hard to imagine a mayor or police chief who-in planning for the arrival of controversial figures-wouldn't profit from Smolla's account of the cascade of missteps in Charlottesville. * Kirkus Reviews *

It's hard to imagine a mayor or police chief who-in planning for the arrival of controversial figures-wouldn't profit from Smolla's account of the cascade of missteps in Charlottesville. * Kirkus Reviews * Smolla's book is a remarkable examination of the intersection of history, law, speech, violence, and hate. It may be the definitive work on what can be wrought by hate speech and, in the face of that, why free speech remains important. * Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly *
