Reviews

“'The Tyranny of Printers' is... an essential journey for those who care about the history of our nation's early years, and the emergence of ordinary artisans as extraordinary leaders, sounding and heeding the call to freedom.” - Washington Post Book World|""This liberal critique should be read by many of the great number who are now exposed to the conservative biography of Adams by David McCullough.... ['The Tyranny of Printers'] is a sprightly and provocative history, written with far more flair than the usual scholarly treatise."" - St. Louis Post-Dispatch|""The most comprehensive and important work on the partisan printer-editors of the early republic.... [I]t is the first work students and general readers should consult on the subject."" - Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography|""This is a tremendously valuable work.... Pasley has challenged historians to reevaluate previously held assumptions about early American party development.... Readers will find his narrative engrossing, informative, and persuasive. Anyone interested in journalism, the rise of political parties, or early American history should read 'The Tyranny of Printers' at least twice."" - Southern Historian|""Astute, compelling, and exhaustively researched.... Pasley's detailed analyses of the knolly associations between press and party... are thoughtful, rich, and persuasive."" - William and Mary Quarterly|""Pasley's thesis, distilled from a huge primary and secondary literature, is felicitously embroidered. His sketches of individual journalists - some of them well known, others until now obscure - are particularly valuable. This is an important book not just for historians of the press, but for students of the early republic generally, Highly recommended."" - Choice
