Trade Review

"This is not the usual book of remembrances—nostalgic, bittersweet, and all that. This is chapter-and-verse recall of our country’s most shameful epoch. . . . It is eloquent and revelatory, but most of all, it is a cautionary tale." —Studs Terkel


"An acute portrait of that squalid time when the witch-hunt was on in Hollywood." —Norman Mailer
