This book examines the consequences of the First Amendment to the
United States Constitution. While Americans benefit from its broad
protection of freedom of speech, they also suffer from the extremes
which result from interpretation of the same amendment. Bollinger
provides a masterly critique of the major theories of freedom of
expression, finding them persuasive but inadequate. Buttressing his
argument with references to many specific cases, as well as with
careful analysis of the primary literature on free speech, he
contends that the real value of toleration of extremist speech lies
in the extraordinary self-control toward antisocial behaviour that
it elicits: society is strenthened by the exercise of tolerance.
