David T. Beito-The New Deals War on the Bill of Rights: The Untold Story of FDRs Concentration Camps, Censorship, and Mass Surveillance
In 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt famously proclaimed freedom of speech as the first of his \u201cfour\nfreedoms,\u201d but his behavior, including confining over 120,000 American citizens in concentration camps,\noften belied such flowery prose.
\n\nIn the new book The New Deal\u2019s War on the Bill of\nRights: The Untold Story of FDR\u2019s Concentration Camps, Censorship, and Mass Surveillance, Independent\nInstitute Sr. Fellow David T. Beito exposes FDR\u2019s dictatorial endeavors of spying on U.S. citizens, incarcerating\nminorities, censoring critics and the press, and essentially annihilating the Bill of Rights.
