The period of the late sixties and early seventies was a high water mark for American journalism. For the first time in American history, the vision of justices Holmes and Brandeis blossomed and bore fruit. A multitude of voices, the essence of democracy, resounded through the land providing a compelling alternative against the stifling banality of the establishment press. What this nation had during the Vietnam War was exactly what the founding fathers understood the press to be all about when they wrote the First Amendment. You are to be congratulated on making a significant contribution to American journalism.
Voices is an important contribution to the history of contemporary dissent in America.
This is indeed an important collection of underground press histories, and it does come with the right forwards and advance endorsements. I'm genuinely sorry that we have to decline it. Dozens of underground publications of the era are documented, analyzed, and remembered by collective members, journalists, editors and political radicals of the day. While many things have changed since the explosion of the underground media in the turbulent Vietnam era, the essays also serve as a reminder that some things remain the same. It is a privilege again for the underground voices to be published and heard in our threatened world, when to tell the truth above the ground is very difficult and betrayed.
