> If you want a popular culture version of this fascinating period, I can’t
recommend Warren Beatty’s “Reds” highly enough. The movie is laced with
testimony from people of Cannon’s generation, including Arne Swabeck, a
founding member of American Trotskyism along with Cannon who was 90 years
old at the time the movie was being made.
Not that Reds did not have plenty of flaws LP Again: http://louisproyect.wordpress.com/2010/11/12/malcolm-x-and-american-trotskyism/
>(One shortcoming of Warren Beatty’s excellent “Reds”, which features him
as John Reed and Paul Sorvino as rival CP leader Louis Fraina, is that
there is absolutely no recognition of the black struggle, nor any leading
black characters.)
