Published in 1957, The Un-Americans is a powerful indictment of McCarthyism and the anti-communist hysteria that swept America in the 1950s. Written by Cecil Bessie Alvah, a committed socialist and longtime member of the Communist Party, the book provides a firsthand account of the persecution that he and other leftists faced during this tumultuous period. A must-read for anyone interested in the history of American politics and the fight for civil liberties.
