As a foreign correspondent, Bruce
Bacon had made his mark as a cou-
rageous, articulate, and professionally
respected reporter. As a human being,
he had gamed a far greater under-
standing of the moral dimension of
civilization and the fragility of human-
kind. l)uring his assignment to India,
when World War 11 was coming to an
end, he had followed up a variety of
leads concerning people of all political
persuasions, and as a result of his brief
contact with a member of the Commu-
nist Party, he found himself mysteri-
ously hustled back to the United States.
"Fhere he is plunged into the
McCarthy madness, stripped of his
career, abandoned by ti iends and col-
leagues, and raih oaded into jail by a
congressional committee. His one sal-
vation is the passionate and feisty Molly
Maguire, daughter of admirers of the
"Wobblies," who grew up in the thir-
ties, a woman who will stick with him
through hell or high water and whose
love and faith will sustain him in
his ordeal.
This book, like no other work of fic-
tion, brings to life a dramatic and
shameful period of American history.
No one is bcUer able to roll this story
than Howard Fast. He himself was a tar-
get of the McCarthy "witch hunt" and
served time in jail for refusing to reveal
the names of people who he believed
were being falsely accused.
