Harry, Tom, and Father Rice

the long version

"John Hoerr has done a splendid job of recreating the atmosphere of the Red Scare, the damage it inflicted on many people's lives, the ruthless battles that divided the CIOn in Allegheny County, and the profound and enduring impact of that epoch on the labor movement and on the nation's political life. Few other studies of the tumultuous early years of the Cold War provide the reader with such rich insights into the period's political and social changes as those offered by Harry, Tom, and Father Rice." - David montgomery, Yale University.
