A witchhunt foiled : the FBI vs. NAMBLA by David Thorstad; North American Man/Boy Love Association NAMBLA, New York, New York State, 1985 English [en] · PDF · 28.4MB · 1985 · Book (non-fiction) https://annas-archive.gd/md5/599cd8d53ef0afa4de7a9f7b102c68a2 Description: "In December 1982, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and local law-enforcement agencies launched a crusade against the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), a legal civil-rights organization. With the collusion of the media they sought to smear the group as an international "sex ring" involved in kidnapping, production and distribution of commercial pornography involving minors, and other crimes. Their attempted witchhunt ran aground when NAMBLA exposed it for the fraud that it was. The case generated widespread attention, but until now the full story has not been told. This booklet tells that story. It gives a detailed and documented account of how one small, misunderstood group resisted the authorities and stood up for its rights in the face of a concerted effort to destroy it. It is a contribution to the literature of resistance to state abuse of power. A Witchhunt Foiled is must reading for everyone concerned about civil liberties and the struggle for social change."
