Yet he never lost faith in America and emerged on the other side with his family and optimism intact. David Maraniss weaves his father's story through the lives of his inquisitors and defenders as they struggle with the vital twentieth-century issues of race, fascism, communism, and first amendment freedoms. -- adapted from jacket. 600 10 $a Maraniss, David $x Family. 600 10 $a Maraniss, Elliott, $d 1918-2004. 610 10 $a United States. $b Committee on Un-American Activities. $b House. $b Committee on Un-American Activities. 650 0 $a Anti-communist movements $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1945-1953. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20191105010759.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1E108076FF9A11E9A2D37E2597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
