The book follows successive phases of the movement, including periods of unrest, the emergence of the New Left, internal splits, and the struggle between competing factions. It examines external influences, wartime dynamics, underground activity, and key events shaping the legal and revolutionary parties, culminating in the transformation and later crisis of communism.","With a new introduction by the authorTheodore Draper  \nThe Roots  \nof AmericanCommunism  \nThis page intentionally left blank  \nWith a new introduction by the authorTheodore Draper  \nThe Roots  \nof AmericanCommunism  \nTransaction PublishersNew Brunswick(U.S.A.)and London(U.K.)  \nNew material this edition copyright ◎2003 by Transaction Publishers,NewBrunswick,New Jersey.Originally published in 1957 by The Viking Press.  \nAll rights reserved under International and Pan-American Copyright Conven-tions.No part of this book may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or byany means,electronic or mechanical,including photocopy,recording,or anyinformation storage and retrieval system,without prior permission in writingfrom the publisher.All inquiries should be addressed to Transaction Publishers,Rutgers—The State University,35 Berrue Circle,Piscataway,New Jersey08854-8042.  \nThis book is printed on acid-free paper that meets the American National Stan-dard for Permanence of Paper for Printed Library Materials.  \nLibrary of Congress Catalog Number:2002073283ISBN:0-7658-0513-8Printed in the United States of America  \n# Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data\n\nDraper,Theodore,1912-  \nThe roots of American communism/Theodore Draper,with a new intro-duction by the author.  \np.cm.  \nOriginally published:New York:Viking Press,1957,in series:Communismin American life.  \nIncludes bibliographical references and index.ISBN0-7658-0513-8(pbk.:alk.paper)  \n1.Communist Party of the United States of America—History.2.Communism—United States.I.Title.  \nJK2391.C53 D732003335.4'0973—dc21  \n2002073283  \nTo My Mother  \nThis page intentionally left blank  \nContents  \nIntroduction to the Transaction Edition  \nxi  \nIntroduction  \n3  \n1.The Historic Left11  \n2.The Age of Unrest36  \n3.The New Left Wing50  \n4.Influences and Influencers65  \n5.The Left at War80  \n6.The Reflected Glory97  \n7.
