"Description: Cold War Fugitive is an inspiring story of how a fugitive from injustice won a moral victory over the immense witch-hunting bureaucracy determined to crush political dissent. It is about the anti-Communist hysteria that gripped the United States after World War II. Criminal Record: Gil Green was one of the eleven U.S. Communist Party leaders sentenced to jail in 1949 for alleged 'conspiracy to teach and advocate the overthrow of the U.S. Government by force and violence.' In other words, for thinking about teaching. When Green and three others jumped bail in 1951, he began an 11-year ordeal: 5 years as an underground Party leader while his family suffered unrelenting FBI harassment, and 6 years in Leavenworth. Since his release in 1962, Green has continued his political work and is currently a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, USA.
Caution: The government assault on political activists described in this story took place several decades ago. But the use of anti-Communism as a divisive 'scare' tactic is with us still. Cold War Fugitive draws the lessons from the 1950s while it reveals a record of staunch resistance during those grim yeas." - from back cover.
