The Rushdie Fatwa and After: A Lesson to the Circumspect

by Brian Winston

Book Overview

This resounding defence of the principles of free expression revisits the Satanic Verses uproar of 1989, as well as subsequent incidents such as the Danish cartoons controversy, to argue that the human right of free speech is by no means so secure that it can be taken for granted.
