Description

Dalton Trumbo was a Hollywood screenwriter and playwright whose career was marked by controversy and perseverance. His refusal to answer questions about his past involvement with the Communist Party led to a successful career being sacrificed for his rights and political freedom. This comprehensive biography, written by Larry Ceplair and Christopher Trumbo, provides an in-depth look at Dalton Trumbo's life, including his work on notable films such as Exodus and Spartacus, and his long campaign against censorship during the domestic cold war. The book also explores Trumbo's personal struggles, including a 13-year battle to break the blacklist that ended with him receiving screen credits for these films. Through extensive research, Ceplair and Trumbo offer a fascinating insight into the life of one of Hollywood's most prominent screenwriters, shedding light on his relationships with notable figures such as Stanley Kubrick, Otto Preminger, and Kirk Douglas.
