Contents:

Selected government officials investigated under federal loyalty program -- When the old left was young ... and went to Washington -- Allegations of disloyalty at labor and consumer agencies, 1939-1943 -- "Pinks in minks" : the antifeminism of the old right -- The loyalty investigations of Mary Dublin Keyserling and Leon Keyserling -- Secrets and self-reinvention : the making of Cold War liberalism -- "A soul-searing process" : trauma in the Civil Service -- Loyalty investigations and the "end of reform."

Summary: The loyalty investigations triggered by the Red Scare of the 1940s and 1950s marginalized many talented women and men who had entered government service during the Great Depression seeking to promote social democracy as a means to economic reform. Their influence over New Deal policymaking and their alliances with progressive labor and consumer movements elicited a powerful reaction from conservatives, who accused them of being subversives. Landon Storrs draws on newly declassified records of the federal employee loyalty program--created in response to fears that Communists were infiltratin.
