"Censorship takes the least flattering view of humanity. Underpinning its rules and regulations is the assumption that people are stupid, gullible, weak and corrupt." So says Green in his introduction to this international encyclopedic account of political, moral, and cultural censorship, past and present. Alphabetical entries range from the Pentagon Papers to Germany's Rubbish and Smut Bill. Press censorship is covered extensively in this provocative, one-volume ready-reference source." (Jo A.
