To my knowledge none of those books were actually banned by the government. One book the government actually banned a few years ago that should be mentioned is "The Federal Mafia: How the Government Illegally Imposes and Unlawfully Collects Income Taxes." The author, Irwin Schiff, is now only enjoined from selling this book. But because Schiff feels the information in his book is so important, to get around this injunction, he is letting everyone read the complete book for free. You could download the PDF file at http://www.paynoincometax.com/federalmafia.htm
Here's what said about the book at that web page:
"The Federal Mafia [How the Government Illegally Imposes and Unlawfully Collects Income Taxes] exposes every facet of the government’s illegal enforcement of the income tax – and will convince you that Organized Crime in America begins with The Federal Government – which is why the federal government has enjoined me from selling the book, so now I'm posting it for FREE!
"The government doesn't want you to know what's in this book, so now you can download it for FREE! Just right click the button below, to save it on your computer. Please share it with everyone you know who will read it.
"Note: The entire book is FREE in acrobat format
.
"Click above to read this previously BANNED BOOK For FREE!
"Note: The Federal Mafia by Irwin Schiff, sold on this site for $42 plus shipping but now you can download it and read it for FREE.
"Irwin's graciously offering you this book for free because he's been banned from selling it since the government doesn't want you to learn what's in this book. So enjoy!
"When you read this book, you may want a vintage copy to read offline or to give as a gift to friends, so check Ebay and Amazon. It's very likely to become a collector's item since it's the first book we know of, to be banned in America."
