Islanders in the Empire: Filipino and Puerto Rican laborers in Hawai'i

The author has explored a fascinating array of new sources in bringing to light additional proof, if needed, of McCarthyism’s destructive nature. He does not fault only the USA, however, for Cold War hysteria, as the chapter on Shostakovich makes clear, but this is a study of domestic politics, not Stalinism. Derry has given us, thankfully, fresh insights into this blighted period, and the book is a welcome addition to the literature. Hopefully, those who continue to defend the anticommunist crusade will now have second thoughts.
