The American Communist Party: A Critical History (Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Era of the New Deal)

In this vivid, scholarly, full-scale history of the American Communist Party from 1919 to the present, the authors are primarily concerned with the relationship between American life and Communism as a political and intellectual current. After setting the stage for the appearance of the Party in this country, they deal with the "disorders and early sorrows" of the Communists, carefully relating them to events in Russia and Europe.
