First Paperback Edition "'This is a splendid book. It is extremely well-researched, intelligently written, and cogently argued. Forging American Communism makes it possible to understand and evaluate the career of William Foster, a complex, often contradictory, and important figure in U.S. radical history. . . . [This] is a major work that frees Foster from the twin straight-jackets of hagiography and red-baiting. This book is vital for our understanding of the vicissitudes of U.S. Communism and labor radicalism in the twentieth century'" [excerpt on the back cover of a review by Daniel J. Leah, in the Historian] ISBN: 069105892X Book is in Very Good Plus Condition: as noted, name of former owner with dates on front free endpaper; page 40 with short vertical line and the word "note" in left margin and pages 43 and 101 with two tiny brackets in the fore-edge margin, No other markings; couple pages with light creasing; otherwise the pages are bright, clean, tight, and unmarked.
