Hollywood Traitors: Blacklisted Screenwriters - Agents of Stalin, Allies of Hitler
â€œThis is the book weâ€™ve been waiting for!Â The true story of the much mythologized â€˜Hollywood Tenâ€™ by a scion of Hollywood royalty.â€ â€” Ann Coulter, author of twelve New York Times bestsellers, including Adios America: The Left's Plan to Turn Our Country Into a Third World Hell-HoleÂ

â€œComing from one who has not only studied the postwar period in Hollywood but actually lived in it,Â Hollywood TraitorsÂ offers a rare perspective that is sure to prompt discussion and re-examination of the time when Stalin drew higher praise in some U.S. motion pictures than he did in Russian films.â€â€”John Gizzi, White House correspondent and chief political colunist, Newsmax

â€œA real-life thriller about the movies, exploding the fifty-year myth that the Hollywood were innocent victims of a witch hunt.Â Must readÂ for students of Cold War history.â€â€”M. Stanton Evans, author of Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight against Americaâ€™s Enemies

Â
There is a myth about the Hollywood Blacklist. The â€œHollywood Tenâ€ were dragged before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) and grilled on their associations with Communism, hid behind their Fifth Amendment rights, and refused to name names of Hollywood Communists. They were completely shut out from the filmmaking industry by Congress and considered the heroes of the hour by many in Hollywood. But itâ€™s time to set the record straight.

In Hollywood Traitors: Blacklisted Screenwritersâ€”Agents of Stalin, Allies of Hitler, Allan Ryskind reveals how the alleged â€œvictimsâ€ of the Hollywood Blacklist were actually ideological thugs: enthusiastic Stalinists committed to bringing about a socialist utopia in Americaâ€”even by violent revolution.

Ryskind, a long-time editor of Ronald Reaganâ€™s favorite publication, Human Events, tells the true story of how these screenwriters prostituted their talent in the service of anti-American, pro-Communist propaganda.

Ryskind pens the riveting report from an insiderâ€™s perspective. His father, Morrie Ryskind, was a screenwriter in Hollywood and was joined by Ronald Reagan, John Wayne, Walt Disney, and others at the forefront of the anti-Communist movement in Hollywoodâ€”even at the expense of their careers and reputations.

In Hollywood Traitors you will learn:

Â
- How the Hollywood Communists took their orders straight from the Party headquarters in New York, which in turn took them directly from Stalinâ€™s Comintern, responsible for promoting international revolution
- How Communists attempted to take over Hollywood trade unions to control the American film industry
- Many major films clearly toed the Soviet line, including Casablanca, Arise my Love, Paris Falling, and Mission to Moscow.
