"Anthracite Reds, Vol. 2," is a documentary history of Communists
in the Pennsylvania hard coal fields during the Great Depression
decade, the "heyday of American Communism." During the 20th century
about one million Americans passed through the Communist Party of
the United States [CPUSA]. In the first half of the century in the
Pennsylvania anthracite, hundreds of men and women, mostly Eastern
and Southern European immigrants who lived and worked in the
region, also joined the CPUSA.
Many books have been written about American communism in diverse
regional settings; yet, no author has penned a volume that deals
with these American radicals in one of 20th century America's major
industrial centers, the anthracite fields of northeastern
Pennsylvania.
Anthracite Reds serves several purposes. It can be read as a
reference work that would be useful to libraries, museums, and
researchers. It may also, however, be read as a compelling
narrative that tells an interesting story for general readers.
