In the late nineteenth century, scientists began allying themselves with America's corporate, political, and military elites. They did so not just to improve their professional standing and win more money for research, says Patrick McGrath, but for political reasons as well. They wanted to use their new institutional connections to effect a transformation of American political culture.

One of the most gifted actors of the 1930s and 1940s, John Garfield is too little remembered. Garfield is best recalled, by some, for having been targeted by the House Un-American Activities Committee for his liberal political beliefs. This work examines his personal and professional life, recounting a bygone era of Hollywood and American history.
