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 \u003ci\u003eThe Daily Worker\u003c\/i\u003e in those trying times, \u003ci\u003eCommunist Propaganda in Pre-Cold War America\u003c\/i\u003e provides insights into the forgotten world of American Bolshevism and the murky history of political propaganda.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henry H.
