Canadian State Trials, Volume IV: Security, Dissent, and the Limits of Toleration in War and Peace, 1914-1939 - Wright, Barry; Tucker, Eric; Binnie, Susan

Clean, tight, unmarked; light wear to upper edge of dust jacket; otherwise very minimal wear; appears unread; The fourth volume in the Canadian State Trials series examines the legal issues surrounding perceived security threats and repression of dissent from the outset of the First World War through the Great Depression. The chapters in this collection examine the treatment of enemy aliens, conscription and courts-martial, sedition prosecutions during the war and after the Winnipeg General Strike, and the application of Criminal Code and Immigration Act laws to Communist Party leaders, On-to-Ottawa trekkers, and minority groups. These historical events shed light on contemporary dilemmas: What are the limits of dissent in war, emergencies, and economic crisis? What limits should be placed on government responses to real and perceived challenges to authority?
