Review
" The moral issues raised by the Hollywood blacklist remain fearfully complex, and Victor Navasky confronts them with almost exquisite precision." -- "The New York Times"
" Navasky has done a splendid job bringing this enormous mass of facts to coherence and meaning, judging its ethical import so rigorously and fairly. "Naming Names" is must reading." -- "Los Angeles Times Book Review"

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Viking, 1980, New York. Hard Cover. Book condition: Very Good. Dust jacket condition: Good. Unstated edition, indeterminate printing due to the lack of a number line. Hardcover in unclipped dust jacket. 9-1/2" tall, 482 numbered pages includes "Notes on Sources", "Acknowledgements" and "Index". This book is very decent though flawed condition: the exterior is square, spotlessly clean, free of corner bumps and edge dings with slight bumping at the head and heel of the spine; hinges are strong. Except for an inked name/date/city on the back of the FFEP and a 1-1/2" circular embossed name on the FFEP and on the title page (see photo), the interior is perfectly clean and completely free of writing, stray marks, stains and any sort of paper damage. Not remaindered or ex-library but possibly a Book Club edition. The dust jacket is clean and free of tears, scratches, scrapes, and fading; however, it has some browning from masking tape on the back side--along all edges, along both folds and along the entire width of the spine. An examination of of the blacklisting in the 1950's; " . . . the subject is cold-war Hollywood, but Mr. Navasky goes far beyond that small town and brings the subject right up to the present" (from the front flap).
