Patrick McGilligan, Paul Buhle "Tender Comrades: A Backstory of the Hollywood Blacklist."

More than sixty years ago, McCarthyism silenced Hollywood. In the pages of ”Tender Comrades,” those who were supposed to be communist, whose lives and careers were crumbling, finally have their say. A unique collection of profiles in cinematic courage, this oral history brings to light the voices of thirty-six blacklist survivors (including two members of the Hollywood Ten), seminal directors of film noir and other genres, starring actresses and memorable supporting players, top screenwriters, and many less known to the public, who are rescued from obscurity by the stories they offer here that, beyond politics, open a rich window into movie making during the Golden Age of Hollywood.
