Red Star Over Hollywood: The Film Colony's Long Romance with the Left Hardcover - 2005

by Ronald Radosh

Using material from Hollywood insiders, the authors trace the growth of the Communist Party from the 1920s, when stars like Charlie Chaplin and Groucho Marx toured the Soviet Union and came back converted, through the 1930s and the war years, when the party achieved critical mass in Hollywood.
