Words at War

World War II Era Radio Drama and the Postwar Broadcasting Industry Blacklist

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Simultaneously as they worked on the war effort, many radio writers and actors advanced a progressive agenda to fight the enemy within: racism, poverty, and other social ills. When the war ended, many of these people paid for their idealism by suffering blacklisting. Veterans' groups, the FBI, right-wing politicians, and other reactionaries mounted an assault on them to drive them out of their professions. Words at War discusses that partly successful effort and the response of the radio personalities involved.
