	Customer Reviews: Average Rating: Rating : - The Struggle Against Censorship This fine and informative book describes 100 books which were "banned" for different reasons, including content and belief. I believe that "banned" is too strong of a word. Something like "restricted" is more appropriate, since none of these books were actually removed from print or circulation. The book is arranged into four sections: literature suppressed on political grounds, literature suppressed on religious grounds, literature suppressed on sexual grounds, and literature suppressed on social grounds. Each section contains approximately twenty banned books. Such classics as "Fahrenheit 451", Lolita", "Naked Lunch", and "A Clockwork Orange" are included in the list. Each banned book is briefly summarized, along with information about the author, original date and place of publication, and literary form. A censorship history is also included which describes the various efforts to have the book blocked from view. The further readings section gives the reader a list of other areas to search for more information about the book. I used this book for a Master's degree course in library science, and it was extremely helpful. The summary gives just enough information so the reader can understand the book without having to read it in its entireity. The censorship history section helps the reader understand the efforts to have the book removed from public access. As a student of library science, I feel that no book should be censored. This is a violation of intellectual freedom and it denies the individual the right to read what they choose to. Books are the backbone of knowledge and learning, and they should never, for any reason, be kept out of people's hands. I highly recommend this fine book. The information contained inside is extremely valuable to the understanding of censorship. The books contained inside are relatively mild compared to some of the books being published today. If you are interested in censorship or learning more about banned books, then be sure to read this fine book. + See Full Customer Review
