The first comprehensive biography of the Communist leader... the body of the book centers on Browder's years as the [Communist] party's national leader from the early 1930s to his removal as secretary general and subsequent expulsion from the CPUSA (American Communist Party) after 1945. The book's most significant characteristic is the extensive use of recently opened files on the CPUSA housed in the Russian Center for the Preservation and Study of Documents of Recent History in Moscow. - Journal of American History
