Author Talk | My Life for the Party: Communists and Communism

The American Communist Party demanded everything from its members and in return exposed them to public approbation, violence and occasional arrest. What kind of people would dedicate their lives to such a dangerous all-consuming cause? Professor Vernon Pedersen of the Department of International Studies has spent 30 years answering that question. Join him to meet the idealists, militants, Bohemians and spies that populate his books.
