The magic fern

New York: International Publishers, 1961. Hardcover. 625p., first edition, small stain on front cover else very good condition. “The Magic Fern” provided readers with a close-up portrait of Communists in the labor movement at the end of the Cold War. The blacklisted Bonosky was well familiar with anti-Communism as a labor organizer and FBI target (demonstrated in a host of newly released documents), and as the brother of Toni Nuss, stigmatized in the sensationalist press as the “Red Queen of Pittsburgh.” - People's World, March 5, 2013.
