Kurzbeschreibung

By interweaving narrative and documents, the authors of this book present a picture of the Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA), one of the most controversial organizations in American public life. Heated debates about whether the Communist Party harboured spies or engaged in espionage have surrounded the party from its inception. This book provides proof that the CPUSA was involved in various subversive activities. At the same time, it discloses details about the workings of the party and about the ordinary Americans and CPUSA leaders who participated in its clandestine activities. The documents presented range from letters by Americans wishing to do international covert work for the Soviet Union, to top secret memos between the head of Soviet foreign intelligence, the Comintern and the CPUSA. They confirm that: the Soviet Union heavily subsidised the CPUSA and that some prominent Americans laundered money for the Comintern; the CPUSA maintained a covert espionage apparatus in the United States with direct ties to Soviet intelligence; the testimony of former Communists concerning underground Communist activity in the United States can be substantiated; American Communists working in government agencies stole documents and passed them to the CPUSA, which sent them on to Moscow; and the CPUSA played a role in atomic espionage. A narrative places the documents in their historical context and explains key figures, organizations and events. Together the narrative and documents provide a picture of American communism and convey the contradictory passions that drew so many Americans into the Communist movement and eventually tore that movement apart.

Synopsis

By interweaving narrative and documents, the authors of this book present a picture of the Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA), one of the most controversial organizations in American public life.

This book provides proof that the CPUSA was involved in various subversive activities. At the same time, it discloses details about the workings of the party and about the ordinary Americans and CPUSA leaders who participated in its clandestine activities.

Meanwhile back in the archive 16. Dezember 1999
Format:Taschenbuch
Two scholars and interpreters deep in the Comintern archive. You get Morris Cohen's application to join the International Brigades. Primary source evidence of Soviet control of CPUSA and the cross pollinization into intelligence and information gathering. A must read for Comintern addicts.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book should result in the rewriting of some aspects of our history. The idea that American Communists were just trying to create Socialism in America with "guidance" from their fraternal brothers and sisters in Russia is a blatent lie: as the authors show, the CPUSA was a puppet for the Soviets, doing their bidding. Particularly disturbing was the aspect of Americans attending military courses while in Moscow and wearing Red Army uniforms. A dark chapter in American history unveiled.

After World War II, as the Seventy Years war heated up, various defectors from the Communist cause told the world that the Communist Party, USA was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Soviet Union, which was dedicated to foisting it's system on the world through espionage and subversion. Cooler heads said they were paranoid nuts.

Well guess what? The "paraoids" were dead right. When the Soviet Union dissolved, various closed archives became available to Western researchers, including the secret records of the Communist International and the CPUSA. They showed that the all the worst things said about Communism for years were exactly true. Read the long denied truth in this excellent volume.
