Up from Communism - Softcover
This study explains how the radical experience of a generation of writers influenced the cultural and political climate of post-World War II USA and provided much of the conservative rationale for the early years of the Cold War. Focusing on the careers of four writers who moved from communism to conservatism - Max Eastman, John Dos Passos, James Burnham and Will Herberg - it provides both a new interpretation of an important moment in American intellectual history and a sobering examination of conservative minds haunted by radical memories.

Diggins vividly recreates the literary and political atmosphere of the period, and places four men in relation to dozens of their contemporaries. . . . Up From Communism is a pleasure to read. -- Review
