Spies, Traitors, and Saboteurs: Fear and Freedom in America provides historical perspective on nine major events when the nation felt threatened by those within its borders.
The exhibition illustrates the evolution of public opinion; the impact on citizens; the response by US law enforcement, counterintelligence, and homeland security; and the challenge of securing the nation without compromising the civil liberties upon which it was founded.
Grounded in nineteenth- and twentieth-century history, the charged content in Spies, Traitors, and Saboteurs invites each of us to consider how to strike the right balance between security and freedom in the twenty-first century.
