Cars for communism.(letters to the editor)(Letter to the editor)
In his review of The Forsaken: An American Tragedy in Stalin's Russia ("In the Nightmare," Sept. 29), Ronald Radosh writes that the book offers "a dramatic account of the previously unknown story"--that is, the story of the "thousands of American citizens who, during the Depression, sought employment and a better future in the 'worker's paradise' built by the Russian Bolsheviks after the 1917 revolution."
By and large the story is indeed "previously unknown," but there is a literature on these events, and I have known about them since my teens (I'm now 46). Those interested in The Forsaken should also read several other books.
