Download or read book Civil Liberties and Nazis written by James L. Gibson and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1985 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of civil liberties focuses on the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the dispute in Skokie, Illinois over the rights of members of the Nazi party to hold public demonstrations. Because this issue promoted at least one-fourth of the membership of the ACLU to take some form of action, ranging from objecting and reducing financial contributions to resigning, this conflict presents the opportunity for a case study of the conditions under which attitudes toward civil liberties are mobilized into behavior.
