{"product_id":"9781944424237","title":"The Tyranny of Silence","description":"Journalists face constant intimidation. Whether it takes the extreme form of beheadings, death threats, government censorship or simply political correctness—it casts a shadow over their ability to tell a story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When the Danish newspaper \u003ci\u003eJyllands-Posten\u003c\/i\u003e published the cartoons of the prophet Muhammad nine years ago, Denmark found itself at the center of a global battle about the freedom of speech. The paper's culture editor, Flemming Rose, defended the decision to print the 12 drawings, and he quickly came to play a central part in the debate about the limitations to freedom of speech in the 21st century. In \u003ci\u003eThe Tyranny of Silence\u003c\/i\u003e, Flemming Rose writes about the people and experiences that have influenced his understanding of the crisis, including meetings with dissidents from the former Soviet Union and ex-Muslims living in Europe. He provides a personal account of an event that has shaped the debate about what it means to be a citizen in a democracy and how to coexist in a world that is increasingly multicultural, multireligious, and multiethnic.","brand":"Cato Institute","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47163428405488,"sku":"9781944424237","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781944424237_p0.jpg?v=1763804199","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781944424237","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
