Summary: "This engrossing book probes the motives and actions of all the players to reveal the full story of the CSU strike and the resulting lockout of 1946. Gerald Horne draws extensively on primary materials and oral histories to document how limited a ""threat"" the Communist party actually posed in Hollywood, even as studio moguls successfully used the Red scare to undermine union clout, prevents film stars from supporting labor, and proves the moguls' own patriotism. This book is destined to be a bombshell in the field and perhaps far beyond the field."
