The author set out to discover how a so-called free society, such as existed in Athens, could try and condemn to death its most renowned philosopher. His portrait of Socrates is not flattering, yet he shows that he was the victim of a witch-hunt.

The Athens of Socrates's time has gone down in history as the very place where democracy and freedom of speech were born. Yet this city put Socrates, its most famous philosopher, to death. Presumably this was because it citizens did not like what he was teaching. Yet he had been teaching there all his life, unmolested. Why did they wait until he was 70, and had only a few years to live, before executing him?
In unraveling the long-hidden issues of the most famous free speech case of all time, noted author I.F. Stone ranges far and wide over both Roman and Greek history to present an engaging and rewarding introduction to classical antiquity and its relevance to society today.
I. F. Stone was an investigative journalist and writer, best remembered for his newsletter I. F. Stone’s Weekly, which was ranked by New York University in 16th place among the top 100 works of journalism in the United States in the twentieth century. He won numerous awards, including the Eleanor Roosevelt Award, the American Library Association Intellectual Freedom Award, the Columbia University Journalism Award, and the American Civil Liberties Union Award. He died in 1989.
