Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451was written during the Cold War in response to the censorship going on in the name of Communism, and in which books were burned to get rid of them and their ideas.  Author Stephen King once told a group of students that if they hear of a book being banned, they should run out and read it to find out what it is that people don't want others to know. 

Nazi Book Burning 1933 Without Free Speech no search for the truth is possible... no discovery of truth is useful... Better a thousand abuse free speech than deny free speech. The abuse dies in a day, but the denial slays the life of people, and entombs the hope of the race - by Charles Bradlaugh
