"Goldstein has reintroduced us to an everyday man who displayed remarkable courage and fortitude to defy some of the fiercest forces for political conformism that have swept the USA. James Kutcher deserves to be remembered."-Labour History "Goldstein gives readers a carefully researched, thoughtful, and detailed account of one man's struggle against the oppressive force of America's loyalty and security state at the height of the Cold War."--Journal of American History "A detailed examination of how political witch hunts can affect the individual citizen.
