Many of the blacklisted filmmakers were members of the Communist Party and all of the graylisted filmmakers had expressed their sympathy with progressive (mainly anti-fascist) causes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Although no Hollywood Communist has ever been linked to espionage or sabotage, and charges of subversive indoctrination have no basis in documented fact, this book powerfully shows how devastating a mere suspicion or insinuation of guilt could be during the era of the Red Menace. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Twenty-two years after its initial publication, \u003ci\u003eThe Inquisition in Hollywood\u003c\/i\u003e remains the definitive work on the blacklist era, and this new edition features a new introduction by the authors. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarry Ceplair, \u003c\/b\u003e a professor of history at Santa Monica College, is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Public Years of Sarah and Angelina Grimké, Charlotte Perkins: A Nonfiction Reader, Under the Shadow of War: Fascism, Anti-Fascism, and Marxists, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eA Great Lady: A Life of the Screenwriter Sonya Levien.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteven Englund\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eMan Slaughter\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGrace of Monaco: An Interpretive Biography.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 592\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.48 x 7.7 x 5.82 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 17, 2003\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44067089350790,"sku":"9780252071416","price":50.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0664\/3446\/5926\/files\/DF7UGV2fd49780252071416.webp?v=1781466158","url":"https:\/\/profixdiy.com\/products\/the-inquisition-in-hollywood-politics-in-the-film-community-1930-60-paperback","provider":"ProFix Home Repair","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
