Cultural Writing. “A captivating exhumation of a bit of-known group of American communists-idealists, artists, spies and Hollywood types-who migrated to Mexican exile within the overdue 1940s and 1950s. Diana Anhalt tells their story-and her own-sympathetically but no longer uncritically”-Dr. Harvey Klehr. “Diane Anhalt’s full of life personal account introduces us to the heretofore unknown story of this struggling community.It is a very powerful story-and Anhalt tells it well-reminding us of the private costs that political repression can inflict upon its sufferers and their families”-Dr. Ellen W. Schrecker.
