Larry Flynt and David Eisenbach, Ph.D. | One Nation Under Sex: How the Private Lives of Presidents, First Ladies and Their Lovers Changed the Course of American History
Notorious publisher and free speech champion Larry Flynt has been challenging America’s interpretation of the First Amendment—and showcasing his brash style in assorted halls of justice—since his Hustler magazine hit national newsstands in 1974. Controversy with moralists is part of Flynt’s territory: He has courted and been bedeviled by hypocrisy among “family values” politicians, once placing an ad in The Washington Post offering a million dollar reward to anyone with “documentary evidence of illicit sexual relations with a Congressman, Senator or other prominent officeholder.” In One Nation Under Sex, Flynt teams with Columbia professor David Eisenbach, creator and host of the History Channel special, The Beltway Unbuckled, to reveal how the checkered sex lives of America’s leaders have shaped key decisions throughout history.
Introduced by Philadelphia Daily News editorial columnist, Signe Wilkinson.
