(B&W photographs) "It is commonly held that the House Un-American Activities Committee was the author of the blacklist. [This book] shows that the list had its seedy, obscure origins in the thirties and forties, in the F. Scott Fitzgerald days of Hollywood, long before Senator McCarthy and the HUAC rode herd on the liberal tradition. With new sources and anecdotes, [the author] follows the blacklist's high, arcing career through World War II and the Korean conflict to the early days of the Kennedy administration. Here are the adventures of the secular blacklisters, a forgotten group of admen, clearance specialists, private investigators and ex-FBI agents, who -- together with a select group of senators and congressment -- loudly proclaimed the existence of a vast Red conspiracy. But, as [this book] shows, the real conspiracy was on the right, depriving the innocent of jobs, bribing actors and writers to confess uncommitted sins and creating a climate of pervasive guilt." ., Atheneum, 1973, 4, New York: Schocken Books, 1987. First Edition with full numberline 8vo size hardcover with dust jacket; 252 bright, white clean pages. Foreword by Stanley Aronowitz. From back: "It comes as no surprise to most Americans that the militarization of our country is a relatively new thing that began about the time of the Korean war... In the course of that state we developed a shadow state dominated by the National Security Council, secret, mendacious, manipulative, authoritarian, virtually immune from the check and balances that are the foundation of our public democracy. -- George Wald, Nobel Laureate" Ex-library with typical markings.
