Books by Frank L. Klement

Meticulously researched and lucidly argued, Dark Lanterns explores a controversial and puzzling aspect of the Civil War. It will be hard to dispute Frank Klements' finding that generations of historians have swallowed whole a tale that was largely the product of myth and legend.

Every American war has brought conflict over the extent to which national security will permit protesters to exercise their constitutional guarantee of freedom of expression.

Frank L. Klement reassesses Clement L. Vallandigham, the passionate critic of Lincoln's policies, and history's judgment of him. Frank L. Klement was Professor of History at Marquette University. His books include The Copperheads in the Midwest and Dark Lanterns. Steven K. Rogstad is Review Editor of The Lincoln Herald.
