While examining dramatic moments--from ancient religious indexes to Nazi Germany's infamous 1933 book burnings--the narrative also explores the political, cultural, and social forces that led people to destroy or forbid stories. Readers will learn how communities responded, how banned ideas resurfaced in new forms, and how governments around the world have attempted to control information. With captivating photographs, a timeline, glossary, and index, this book is perfect for research and browsing.
