The Jacobin Republic under Fire: The Federalist Revolt in the French Revolution (review)

Abstract

and Ellen Schrecker. Had Marshall included such background his prose might not have jumped around as much as it did. He also might have avoided misstatements such as how the Notkin firing was an aberration from librarians’ stance on intellectual freedom. Marshall seems to have been carried away by more recent intellectual freedom fights such as the debate over Playboy and Show Me, not realizing that library values were quite different in 1932. Despite these serious flaws, LIS scholars should read this for Marshall’s outsider coverage of recent management issues such as “Carpetgate,” the visionary leadership of Deborah Jacobs, and the “voluntary resignation” of Elizabeth Stroup.
