Description

This book shows that press-orientated agitation and propaganda efforts, delivered through newspapers such as the The Daily Worker, played a key role in the political strategy of the Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA) as they rose to unprecedented cultural prominence and political influence. On the eve of the Cold War, when The Daily Worker could be found on newsstands throughout the country and could boast sales of nearly 50,000, the party regarded the paper as the ‘central organ’ of their political movement. Arguing that this strategy closely aligned with the desires of their Soviet superiors in the Communist International (Comitern), who regularly intervened in the paper’s affairs, Prown shows how it maintained a stringently pro-Soviet line, and its editors became not dupes or naifs, but willing Stalinist collaborators. Delving into the editorial policies and practices of The Daily Worker in those trying times, Communist Propaganda in Pre-Cold War America provides insights into the forgotten world of American Bolshevism and the murky history of political propaganda.
