Best wishes, Heather Skinner, Publicist University of Minnesota Press -- The definitive portrait of Hollywood’s dark high noon TENDER COMRADES: A Backstory of the Hollywood Blacklist By Patrick McGilligan and Paul Buhle University of Minnesota Press | 800 pages | 2012 ISBN 978-0-8166-8037-5 | paperback | $29.95 Back in print More than sixty years ago, McCarthyism silenced Hollywood. Tender Comrades brings to light the voices of thirty-six blacklist survivors, seminal directors, 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, opening a rich window into moviemaking during the Golden Age of Hollywood. PRAISE FOR TENDER COMRADES: "This is not the usual book of remembrances—nostalgic, bittersweet, and all that. This is chapter-and-verse recall of our country’s most shameful epoch. . . . It is eloquent and revelatory, but most of all, it is a cautionary tale." —Studs Terkel "An acute portrait of that squalid time when the witch-hunt was on in Hollywood and of the thirty-six movie artists interviewed here who were deprived of a livelihood—even as hundreds of others lived in fear of the House Un-American Activities Committee—while havoc was strewn through their lives and their professions." —Norman Mailer ABOUT THE AUTHORS: Patrick McGilligan has written several acclaimed biographies, including Alfred Hitchcock: A Life in Darkness and Light (a finalist for the Edgar Award) as well as New York Times Notable Books about George Cukor and Fritz Lang. His five-volume Backstory series is the definitive oral history of American screenwriting. Paul Buhle, a retired senior lecturer at Brown University and the founder of the Oral History of the American Left archive at New York University, is the author or editor of more than forty books.
