Reviews for Protocols of Liberty
"William B. Warner's profoundly learned and well-timed Protocols of Liberty provides readers with a distant mirror for our own moment, returning us to the conditions of communication that determined the course of 'Whig' politics in the 1760s and 1770s and made the American Revolution possible." (Eric Slauter, University of Chicago)"
