I'm published today!

My book, Reckless Disregard: St. Amant v. Thompson and the Transformation of Libel Law, was published today by LSU Press.

The book gives a detailed examination of a legal case and a U.S. Supreme Court decision that was considered of paramount importance at the time, but whose details and implications have received scant attention. It studies both the origins of the case in the social and political situation in Louisiana in the mid-1960s, and the meanings and implications of the eventual U.S. Supreme Court ruling on modern defamation law.

It is available at Amazon, Barnesandnoble.com, even Target.com!
