Bella Dodd's story is a human document of immense importance to Americans today. Here are the inner workings of the Communist Party in this country as seen from the secret counsels and strategy meetings of the National committee, to which she belonged for a crucial span of years. As long ago as the 1940's, the Party was planning cynically to use the Negroes as instruments in the revolution-to-come in the United States. The theory, contrived by Stalin and unleashed by Foster, was to encourage "self-determination of the Negroes in the black belt" and the establishment of a Negro nation with the right to secede from the United States. Bella Dodd's is a story familiar to many a young American idealist who saw in Communism a new gospel and who worked sacrificially in the cause until the inevitable bitter day when the cause betrayed him. For her that day came almost too late for her own salvation, for as she tells us, "it takes a long time to 'unbecome' a Communist." As a brilliant young college instructor, and one with legal training, Bella Dodd attracted the attention of top Communists by her unremitting fight to improve the pay and working conditions of New York City's teachers. Her conversion to Communism was a slow infiltration of the mind by an appeal to love of humanity, a vision of a better society and wider social justice. She rose in Party ranks to National Committee membership and was as well the legislative representative of its New York State Committee, a member of the State Board and the State Secretariat. This report of her activities and those of the high-up Party leaders covers the historic period during World War II of the Democratic Front, the Rapp-Coudert investigation of Communist teachers, the propaganda drive in behalf of Loyalist Spain, the work of the Women's Trade Union for Peace, the goings-on in the famous 'Ninth Floor" of Communist headquarters. She recreates the atmosphere of suspicion and conspiracy which was part of the air she breathed in those days. She reports tense sessions in which friends turned their backs on friends and former leaders found themselves demoted overnight as the "Party line" from Moscow changed course. The climax of the book is a snowy Christmas Eve when Bell Dodd finds the reaffirmation of her faith, and is able to say, "I have learned from bitter experience that you cannot serve man unless you first serve God in sincerity and truth." Bella Dodd became widely known as a lecturer. She also wrote and practiced law in her New York Office. This product has the following tags; click the tags to see similar products :

Shipping Information: Shipping times provided on this website or elsewhere are the estimated transit time of the post office and do not include our processing time. Depending on stock status and our volume of orders, delivery can vary from a few days to several weeks. If you need your package by a certain date, please contact us and we will do our best to expedite the order.
Mail Classes: Priority Mail is the name given to a mail class from USPS, and does not refer to a faster processing time by us (if you need an item urgently, please contact us and we will do our best to expedite the order). Priority Mail is the least expensive mail class available for domestic packages over one pound and international packages over four pounds. For smaller packages, First Class mail may be less expensive. Shipping times for both are comparable. Media Mail is only available for domestic orders consisting entirely of DVDs, CDs or books. It is generally less expensive than either First Class or Priority Mail, but shipping times are slower (anything from a couple of days to a week extra).
International Orders & Duty: All packages are marked with appropriate customs information. You are responsible for paying any duties or taxes as a result of import. You are also responsible for ensuring any items ordered are legal to import to your jurisdiction. Church Militant is not responsible for items seized at customs or taxes due.
Returns & Refunds: Per Michigan and US Federal law, we do not normally offer refunds or returns. If an item is damaged or the wrong item is sent, contact us and we will replace it. If you wish to inquire about a refund, exchange or return contact us - but we are not obligated to provide such and are permitted to charge a restocking fee. Please do not return items without having contacted us and arranged a return; receiving an item marked as return does not obligate us to make a refund.
UK & EU Residents Please Note! UK HMRC and the individual EU tax authorities require the payment of VAT (at 20% for the UK and rates varying from 17% to 27% for EU countries) on all goods imported into the United Kingdom or EU. Church Militant does not collect UK or EU VAT on purchases; purchasers are responsible for the payment of VAT to tax authorities when items reach the UK or EU.
