Rezensionen

"This relatively short, lively book should appeal to a good-sized readership. First, it will work well in advanced undergraduate and graduate classes. And general readers seeking information about our unaccountable surveillance state, police repression, and the excessive power of business will profit from learning about the deep roots of these problems and the ways ordinary people have fought back." (Chad Pearson, The Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, Vol. 16 (4), October, 2017)
"This account by Hodges (history, Univ. of Houston-Clear Lake), tightly centered on Portland, OR (1917-19), is most welcome, particularly because, as he notes, the overwhelmingly 'national focus of the historical literature' has 'obscured the innovative ways' state and local governments instigated and implemented severe repression of (massive but entirely peaceful) WW I dissent. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above." (R. J. Goldstein, Choice, Vol. 54 (2), October, 2016)
