3.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent block quotes from Zenger's personal account,
By Adam (St. Paul, Minnesota, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: John Peter Zenger and the Fundamental Freedom (Library Binding)
But much of the book, which reaches just 150 pages, strays merkedly from the purported subject. The author has a pithy writing style, but his efforts are sometimes misdirected.
