520 $aThis is the first history of the postwar American Communist Party. It is the story of a party grown quarrelsome and vengeful, a party driven underground by the mistakes of Moscow and the anti-Communist laws of the United States. Those who think of the party as a strong and united front will be startled to learn of the battles for power within its leadership, which aligned itself either with Earl Browder, advocate of compromise with democratic capitals, or with William Z. Foster, champion of class war. The absorbing drama unfolds with such tales as the Communists' loyalty investigation against themselves in the hunt for hidden FBI agents; the campaign against the Rosenberg conviction and the Smith Act; the losing struggle for influence in the A.F. of L.-C.I.O.; the defection of key party leaders; and the crises caused by the revelation of Stalin's crimes and the Hungarian revolution. Each time the American party straightened out the kinks in the party line, the Soviet tangled it. For the biggest - though most unwitting - enemy of the American party was the Soviet Union. - From inside cover.
