Rude awakenings : an American historian's encounter with Nazism, Communism and McCarthyism / Carol Sicherman.

Publication | Library Call Number: E175.5.M376 S53 2012

Drawing on family papers, wide-ranging interviews, FBI files, American and German newspapers, a wide array of published sources, and her own memories, the author traces Harry Marks's German American heritage, his education both formal and informal, his marriage to a fellow Communist from a poor Russian family, his rocky start as an academic, his anguish when confronted by his Communist past, and his ultimate creation of a satisfying career.
