Black paper on boards. 776 pp. Filmography, Bibliographic References, Index. Volume has very lightly bumped bottom corners, just enough to tell about it. Jacket has minor wear. Now in clear cover. "In October of 1947, The House Un-American Activities Committee launched hearings in Washington, D.C., to investigate Communist influence in the motion picture industry. Writers, actors, directors, and other industry figures were called before HUAC and commanded to name names to save themselves by betraying their comrades. In what amounted to a signal instance of cultural repression, those who defied HUAC were shouted down - and marked down on lists that ruined their lives and careers. In the pages of Tender Comrades, thirty-six blacklist survivors tell their life stories. Together their voices form a unique collection of Hollywood profiles in courage."
