This is a powerful and ever relevant history of the development and evolution of the concept and adoption of the tenets of freedom of the press. "The French Revolution led to modern democracy. Terms like left-wing and right-wing revolutionary and counter-revolutionary movements freedom censorship and silencing intellectual discourse were introduced and remain relevant. The texts of Condorcet 1776 and Bonald 1826 allow us to comprehend the debate that occurred in those times. Historian Albert Corbeto provides a background for the facts and contrasts them recounting from a neutral standpoint the historical events that had a substantial impact on French and European society. There are many parallels between the past and present controversies. In today's geopolitically volatile world there is a renewed and disturbing discussion about the nature and limits of various liberties including freedom of the press.The French Revolution led to modern democracy.
