The Enemy Forgotten

The Enemy Forgotten is a book published just as Gil Green, the author and member of the National Committee of the Communist Party, began to serve a jail sentence for violation of the Smith Act. Chapters in this book contrast the progressive 1930’s with the reactionary 1950’s, and discuss such issues as the Soviet “threat” to America, monopoly, unsolved economic problems, military expenditures, political realignment, labor in politics, the Negro, and the future of socialism in America. This book presents an argument and polemic with the liberal leaders in labor and political circles who have failed to keep the progressive spirit glowing.
