False Witness

This memoir tells the story of Harvey Matusow, a former member of the American Communist Party who was imprisoned for perjury. Matusow later recanted his false testimony and became an anti-communist activist, providing testimony to congressional committees and naming over 200 alleged communists and spies. With its controversial subject matter and firsthand accounts, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the American Red Scare and the politics of the 1950s.
