Prepared as a report for the American Civil Liberties Union, it examines the private groups, newsletters, advertisers, and self-appointed investigators that labeled performers and writers as Communists or political subversives—often damaging their careers without formal hearings or reliable evidence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book specifically discusses Red Channels, Counterattack, entertainment-industry employment blacklists, and individuals whose livelihoods were affected by accusations of Communist association.
