Apparently there is an excellent new book on the subject, “Red Star Over Hollywood: The Film Colony’s Long Romance With The Left” by

Ronald Radosh and Allis Radosh.

Thanks to the many e-mailers who pointed out the book, as well as this piece on it

By Cathy Seipp and this review on Frontpage and

this review by Martin Peretz. Additional

thanks to Terry Teachout who pointed out his own review of another,

very different book on the subject, one celebrating the presence of

radical Leftists in Hollywood, and therefore very honest about it.
