Discrediting the Red Scare: The Cold War Trials of James Kutcher, "The Legless Veteran": Landmark Law Cases & American Society
Autor Robert Justin Professor Goldsteinen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2016
The son of Russian immigrants, James Kutcher came of age during the Great Depression. Robbed of his hope of attending college or finding work of any kind, he joined the Socialist Workers Party, left-wing and strongly anti-Soviet, in his hometown of Newark. When his membership in the SWP came back to haunt him at the height of the Red Scare, Kutcher took up the fight against efforts to punish people for their thoughts, ideas, speech, and associations. As a man who had fought for his country and paid a great price, had never done anything that could be construed as treasonous, held a low level clerical position utterly unconnected with national security, and was the sole support of his elderly parents, Kutcher cut an especially sympathetic figure in the drama of Cold War witch-hunts. In a series of confrontations, in what were highly publicized as the case of the legless veteran, the federal government tried to oust Kutcher from his menial Veterans Administration job, take away his World War II disability benefits, and to oust him and his family from their federally subsidized housing. "Discrediting the Red Scare " tells the story of his long legal struggle in the face of government persecution that redoubled after every setback until the bitter end."
