Open Road Media has created a Forbidden Bookshelf series which is a list of books curated by Professor Mark Crispin Miller of New York University that fills in the blanks of America’s repressed history. By resurrecting books that focus on issues and events that are too often left in the dark, including abortion, organized crime, the CIA, and financial inequality, the series aims to set our cerebral hemispheres ablaze.
The series launched on June 10 with five books:
2. The Lords of Creation, by Frederick Louis Allen
3. Blowback, by Christopher Simpson
4. Interference: How Organized Crime Influences Professional Football, by Dan E. Moldea
5. The Search for an Abortionist, by Nancy Howell Lee
It is intended for this
list of books to generate renewed attention as the issues they
address are as significant today as they were when the books were first
published.

Crispin Miller said, “Despite our First Amendment—or because of
it—countless crucial books have been adroitly ‘disappeared’ through
methods far less crude than outright censorship, from threats of
litigation to press black-outs and/or charges of ‘conspiracy theory.’
Such tactics have repeatedly erased those books that we most need to
read, because of their important truths about the powers that be; and so
our purpose is to bring those books to life again.”
Open Road Media will add to this list later this summer with the works of I. F. Stone, Gerard Colby, Charlotte Dennett, Kati Marton, Robert
Fitch, Bertram Gross, and John Dinges.
Let's keep is going people....
