Donald Thomas gives a disturbing insight into what those in power consider too dangerous to be seen or said by ordinary people. \u003ci\u003eFreedom's Frontier\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how censorship has restricted freedom of expression in the past including obscenity prosecutions of major and minor writers in the first half of the twentieth century and continues to silence us in the present with the more insidious tool of political correctness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the use of seditious libel proceedings to stop rumours of George V's bigamy to the Mutiny Act used to silence Communist publications in the 1920s; from the use of the Official Secrets Act to ban the publication of \u003ci\u003eSpycatcher\u003c\/i\u003e to the Salmon Rushdie controversy in 1989 Donald Thomas chronicles a broad range of censorship cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFreedom's Frontier\u003c\/i\u003e argues that although we have won greater freedom of expression in some areas we have lost the absolute liberty of political expression that was present in the Victorian era.
