An immensely alive, witty and generous memoir of the blacklist nightmare by a writer who was himself blacklisted in the anti-Communist hysteria (simply to be accused of being Red was enough to destroy a career in film, radio or television) that hit America in the 1940s and culminated in the McCarthyism of the 1950s.
Bernstein vividly records his journey through the decades when mention in Red Channels meant professional death and the Hollywood community was torn between those who were willing and those who refused to obtain a reprieve by denouncing their leftist (even left-leaning) friends and colleagues to the anti-Red zealots. His book includes fascinating glimpses of leading Hollywood figures - the great and the terrible, the brave and the craven. It has been greeted with a burst of advance acclaim.

Work Description
"During World War II, Walter Bernstein was a correspondent for the U.S. Army magazine Yank; after the war, he joined the Communist Party. When Senator Joseph McCarthy began his notorious witch hunt for Communists in the late 1940s, Bernstein - a writer for film and television - found himself blacklisted. For a decade he would scrape a living together by selling scripts through fronts.".
"With the perspective and insight afforded by the passage of fifty years, the author vividly recalls an entertainment community torn between those who were willing, and those who refused, to denounce their friends, and he provides unforgettable glimpses of leading Hollywood figures such as Burt Lancaster, Elia Kazan, Bette Davis, and Zero Mostel."--BOOK JACKET.
