    For anyone who doesn’t already know; Howard Fast was a prolific novelist in the mid-century. He drew a lot of his inspiration from American history. The American Communist Party was just about as in tolerant of dissent as the conservatives are now.

    No wonder Richard Wright left America.

      Thank you for understanding this. However McCarthy sent Roy Cohn abroad and in particular to Paris where they called on my father to harass him. McCarhyism knew no borders ...
