<p>The testimony that the author has gleaned for this book from the thirty-year record of the House Un-American Activities Committee focuses on HUACâs 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 âdignifiedâ manner to a huge, unrelenting accusatory finger from which almost no one was safe. This book serves as a warning for the future and creates living history from the documentary record. âThe basic document with which all future studies of the [House Un-American Activities] Committee will have to begin.â âDalton Trumbo â...what he has done is give us HUAC as spectacle, and the perspective is shattering.ââVictor Navasky, The New York Times</p>

(Applause Books). "Eric Bentley's radical new look at the grammar of theatre...is a work of exceptional virtue... The book justifies its title by being precisely about the ways in which life manifests itself in the theatre...This is a book to be read again and again."

This new title forms the fourth in the popular 'Steam Trails' series. The lines covered in this new volume are predominantly those that were operated by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway, and so routes like the main line from Manchester to Leeds via Summit tunnel and its associated branches also feature.  The late Eric Bentley was a prolific photographer of railways in the area between Manchester and Leeds during the final decade of steam operation. His collection includes both colour and mono images, the vast majority of which are previously unpublished. His comprehensive records allow for rail expert Bob Pixton to provide well informed captions and text in this fascinating new title. Following in the 'Steam Trails' style format this new title includes informative text and highly descriptive captions allied to a variety of mono and colour photographs. An excellent addition to any rail enthusiast's collection!
