Thirty Years of Treason: Excerpts from Hearings Before the House Committee on Un-american Activities 1938-1968; Complete Set; Library Edition

A chilling reenactment of the federal government s anti-Communist investigationsThe testimony that the author has gleaned for this book from the thirty-year record of the House Un-American Activities Committee focuses on HUAC s 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 dignified manner to a huge, unrelenting accusatory finger from which almost no one was safe. "Thirty Years of Treason" serves as a warning for the future and creates living history from the documentary record."
