Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book centers on a long-forgotten debate held in 1919 by the New York State Legislature's Joint Legislative Committee Investigating Seditious Activities. Many notable figures from the era, like Ludwig Martens, appear before the committee to answer questions about their involvement with radical socialist movements and propaganda. These hearings exposed the extent of Communist Party influence in the United States and their efforts to spread their ideology to American workers. Martens's interrogation illustrates how the Committee attempted to connect these organizations to the broader socialist movement and the Bolshevik regime in Russia during a period of widespread labor unrest and fear of Bolshevik sympathies in the United States. By presenting unedited transcripts of the hearings, the book sheds light on a critical moment when the American government grappled with the threat of Communism and the complexities of free speech and radical ideologies.
