James Dalton Trumbo (1905-1976) is widely recognized for his work as a screenwriter,
playwright, and author, but he is also remembered as one of the Hollywood Ten who
opposed the House Un-American Activities Committee. Refusing to answer questions about
his prior involvement with the Communist Party, Trumbo sacrificed a successful career
in Hollywood to stand up for his rights and defend political freedom. Here, authors
Larry Ceplair and Christopher Trumbo present their extensive research on the famed
writer, detailing his work, his membership in the Communist Party, his long campaign
against censorship during the domestic cold war, his ten-month prison sentence for
contempt of Congress, and his thirteen-year struggle to break the blacklist. The struggle
ended for Trumbo in 1960, when he received screen credits for Exodus and Spartacus.
Just before his death, he received a long-delayed Academy Award for The Brave One,
and in 1993, he was posthumously given an Academy Award for Roman Holiday (1953).
This comprehensive biography provides insights into the many notable people with whom
Trumbo worked, including Stanley Kubrick, Otto Preminger, and Kirk Douglas, and offers
a fascinating look at the life of one of Hollywood's most prominent screenwriters
and his battle against persecution.--From publisher description
