The Hunt for Red October (Jack Ryan, #3)

by Tom Clancy

“Mr. Ambassador, any person in the United States, regardless of his nationality or the manner of his arrival, is entitled to the full protection of our law. Our courts have ruled on this many times, and under our law no man or woman may be compelled to do something against his will without due process.

Written in 1984.

It was people like these who had built the American Dream, and people like these who were needed to maintain it.
