Thirty Years of Treason, Vol. 3

Excerpts From Hearings Before the House Committee on Un-American Activities, 1953 - 1968

De: Eric Bentley

Narrado por: Gabrielle de Cuir, Nathan Dana Aldrich, Roscoe Lee Browne, Robertson Dean, Richard Gilliland, Stephen Hoye

A chilling reenactment of the federal government's anti-Communist investigations.

The testimony that the author has gleaned for this audiobook from the 30-year record of the House Un-American Activities Committee focuses on HUAC's treatment of artists, intellectuals, and performers. This highly listenable and absorbing collection of significant excerpts from the hearings shows with painful clarity how HUAC grew from a panel that investigated possible subversive activities in a "dignified" manner to a huge, unrelenting accusatory finger from which almost no one was safe. Thirty Years of Treason serves as a warning for the future and creates living history from the documentary record.
