The American Trilogy #2

I Married a Communist is the story of the rise and fall of Ira Ringold, a big American roughneck who begins life as a teenage ditch-digger in 1930s Newark, becomes a big-time 1940s radio star, and is destroyed, as both a performer and a man, in the McCarthy witchhunt of the 1950s.

In his heyday as a star—and as a zealous, bullying supporter of `progressive` political causes—Ira marries Hollywood`s beloved silent-film star, Eve Frame. Their glamorous honeymoon in her Manhattan townhouse is shortlived, however, and it is the publication of Eve`s scandalous bestselling exposé that identifies him as `an American taking his orders from Moscow.`

In this story of cruelty, betrayal, and revenge spilling over into the public arena from their origins in Ira`s turbulent personal life, Philip Roth—who Commonweal calls the `master chronicler of the American twentieth century—has written a brilliant fictional portrayal of that treacherous postwar epoch when the anti-Communist fever not only infected national politics but traumatized the intimate, innermost lives of friends and families, husbands and wives, parents and children.
