<p>The testimony that the author has gleaned for this book from the thirty-year record of the House Un-American Activities Committee focuses on HUACâs treatment of artists, intellectuals, and performers. This highly readable 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 âdignifiedâ manner to a huge, unrelenting accusatory finger from which almost no one was safe. This book serves as a warning for the future and creates living history from the documentary record. âThe basic document with which all future studies of the [House Un-American Activities] Committee will have to begin.â âDalton Trumbo â...what he has done is give us HUAC as spectacle, and the perspective is shattering.ââVictor Navasky, The New York Times</p>

(Applause Books). "Eric Bentley's radical new look at the grammar of theatre...is a work of exceptional virtue...
