About This Item
San Francisco, CA: Encounter Books, 2005. First Edition. First Printing. Hardcover. Very good/very good. 309 pages. Appendix, notes, index. Signed by both co-authors. Until now, Hollywood's political history has been dominated by a steady stream of films and memoirs decrying the nightmare of the Red Scare. The authors, however, show that the real drama of that era lay in the story of the movie stars, directors, and especially screenwriters who joined the Communist Party or traveled in its orbit, and made the Party the focus of their political and social lives. This copy was among the first published by Encounter Books, and was printed and issued before the full verso page information, especially the Library of Congress cataloguing data and the ISBN, had been added. (The First Edition, First Printing/Second State has this data). Encounter Books is an activity of Encounter for Culture and Education, a tax-exempt, non-profit corporation dedicated to strengthening the marketplace of ideas and engaging in educational activities to help preserve democratic culture.
