Part Of Our Time by Murray Kempton
Some Ruins and Monuments of the Thirties
"Part of Our Time" explores the lives and ideologies of American radicals from the 1930s who were initially drawn to communism out of a desire to combat economic depression and fascism. Through a series of vividly detailed profiles, the book examines how these individuals, once fervent supporters of the Communist Party, became disillusioned with the movement as the realities of Stalinism and the Soviet Union's policies became apparent. The narrative delves into their personal and political transformations, capturing a poignant sense of betrayal and loss as these former radicals grapple with their past commitments and the consequences of their political choices.
