An examination of privacy and the evolution of
communication, from broken sealing wax to high-tech
wiretapping
A sweeping story of the right to privacy as it sped along
colonial postal routes, telegraph wires, and even today's
fiber-optic cables, American Privacy traces the
lineage of cultural norms and legal mandates that have
swirled around the Fourth Amendment since its adoption.
Legally, technologically, and historically grounded,
Frederick Lane's book presents a vivid and penetrating
exploration that, in the words of people's historian Howard
Zinn, "challenges us to defend our most basic
rights."
