Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. i own this in the original hardcover (my printing, second printing, 1972) .. my mom collected the writings about this awful time .. and was convinced that zero mostel's testimony (excerpted here in bentley's edited volume) would have made a GREAT PLAY. i quite agree .. read the transcripts to make your own decision ... dalton trumbo's son christopher has followed this same instinct and crafted a terrific play called TRUMBO based on his father's letters and testimony befoer the House Committee on Un American Activites. Theatre of the absurd has nothing on this theatre of politics as lived by the men and women affected during this time. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

A chilling reenactment of the federal government's anti-Communist investigations. The testimony that the author has gleaned for this book from the thirty-year record of the House Un-American Activities Committee focuses on HUAC's treatment of artists, intellectuals, and performers. This highly readable and absorbing collection of significant excerpts from the hearings shows with painful clarity how HUAC grew from a panel that investigated possible subversive activities in a "dignified" manner to a huge, unrelenting accusatory finger from which almost no one was safe. Thirty Years of Treason serves as a warning for the future and creates living history from the documentary record. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
