Hearings Before the Special Committee

By Victor L. Berger

This volume contains the record of hearings conducted by a special committee concerning Victor L. Berger, a prominent figure in the Socialist Party of America during the early 20th century. These hearings focus on questions surrounding Berger's political views and activities during World War I, particularly concerning his indictment under the Espionage Act for allegedly obstructing the war effort. The transcripts provide a detailed examination of Berger's statements, writings, and associations, offering insights into the political climate of the era and the government's response to dissent. "Hearings Before the Special Committee" serves as a valuable resource for understanding the complexities of free speech, wartime restrictions, and the challenges faced by socialist movements in the United States.
