Crisis in Freedom is a highly critical narrative of the Federalists in Congress and Adams administration over the infamous Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798. Written for a popular audience, it was published in 1951 during the McCarthy hearings and implicitly draws parallels between these two very different times. Despite this drawback, Miller’s book is worth reading for its detailed account of these still controversial statutes.
