The Deportations Delirium of Nineteen-Twenty (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781025369884)

"The Deportations Delirium of Nineteen-Twenty" is a critical first-hand account of the Palmer Raids and the subsequent Red Scare that gripped the United States following World War I. Written by Louis F. Post, who served as the Assistant Secretary of Labor during this turbulent era, the work provides an insider's perspective on the mass arrests and deportation proceedings directed against suspected radicals, anarchists, and labor activists. Post meticulously documents the legal battles and ethical dilemmas faced by the Department of Labor as it attempted to uphold constitutional protections amidst a climate of national hysteria.

This historical narrative serves as a vital record of civil liberties in America, detailing the administrative and judicial processes that defined the government's response to perceived internal threats. "The Deportations Delirium of Nineteen-Twenty" explores the tension between national security and individual rights, offering a profound critique of the social and political delirium that led to the erosion of due process. It remains an essential text for understanding the evolution of immigration law, the history of the labor movement, and the enduring struggle for justice in times of political upheaval.
