Fugitive: My Boyhood under the Hollywood Blacklist

By Tony Kahn

A graphic memoir of the Hollywood Blacklist and Red Scare of the late 1940s and 1950s. Told in a riveting, cinematic style, it recounts the fifteen years my father, Gordon Kahn, a Hollywood Screenwriter, lost his career and lived under the constant threat of imprisonment for his left-wing political views. Seen through the eyes of a child, Fugitive is a harrowing family account of foreign exile and life on the run from FBI surveillance and intimidation, and denunciations as "enemies of the state." It's also a cautionary tale of how easily the world's most open society almost became a police state without a single shot being fired, and how easily the threat to our liberties as American citizens can come again.
