It ought to be a classic of twentieth century American life.\" -- Meredith Sue Willis * Books for Readers *\u003cbr\u003e\"This is a memoir rich in intelligent reflection of an aspect of US political history that receives little airing. It's an elegantly written and moving account.\" -- John Green * Morning Star *\u003cbr\u003e\"Jane Lazare has written a fascinating, intensely personal book about history, family, and the Communist Party in the United States.\" -- Esther Cohen * Monthly Review *\u003cbr\u003e\"Making an account of one's self through memoir is hard enough, why would anyone want to tackle combining their own with that of another's? Lazarre does so to pay tribute to her father, to show herself and the world his noble intentions even though he was a flawed human being, as we all are. Ultimately, she has learned through the writing, he is so much a part of her, and she a part of him, whether that's in their living or their passing on.\" -- Tomie Anne Bitton * American Book Review *\u003cbr\u003e\"This is one of those books that deserves many audiences. And for that I am grateful, as I believe its appeal, like that of Lazarre’s earlier memoirs, makes an important contribution to understanding aspects of American history and social consciousness that are not explored nearly enough.\" -- Emily E.
