Summary:

3hours, 2 cassettes. Read by William Herrick with an introduction
written and read by Paul Berman. Activist William Herrick chronicles
his life of both conviction and disillusion-from the front lines of
the Spanish Civil War, in and out of the Communist Party, to driving
a tractor on a communal farm in Michigan, jumping the lines as a
hobo, organizing African American sharecroppers in Georgia, at work
with Orson Welles, and immersed in his own writing. For those who
like the truth with a dash of wit, it's an exhilarating read. In the
1930's, Herrick, like many American Communists, went to Spain to
fight the Fascists. He writes about what he saw at the front lines in
vivid, unsentimental prose. But there is much more to William Herrick
than war stories. The childhood that sent him on the path to Spain,
conflicts with those who continued to toe the Party line after Spain
and the Hitler-Stalin pact, as well as his run in with the lackeys of
the McCarthy Senate committee.
