Stories from the History of U.S. Government Surveillance

During national crises, the United States government often reacts
overzealously. 


It takes actions that curtail the constitutionally guaranteed rights of
the people. These laws, executive orders and government measures have
been in reaction to public fears and public demands for a swift
response. Yet the flames of fear have also been fanned for political
advantage. Federal agencies have acted to intimidate, harass, alienate,
deport, and silence organizations and individuals. Historically,
dissenting voices included advocates as diverse as labor and peace
activists, immigrant-rights groups, political opponents, and civil-
rights leaders.

The targets often are those with the most precarious standing in the
country: minorities and new immigrants. Ironically, it is the struggle
of the people on the fringes of society that has strengthened the civil
rights of all Americans.

Tracked in America introduces the stories of 25 individuals who have
been targeted by the U.S. government. The stories span from World War I
to the post-9/11 world. Six eminent historians provide historical
perspective and context to the time periods in which these individuals
were under surveillance. Together, the profiles convey the courage of
these individuals and reveal a dangerous pattern of government
surveillance.
