Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against the backdrop of September 1941, a group of isolationist senators sought to discredit Hollywood for its perceived warmongering. Amidst the divide over entering the European War, Hollywood's immigrant moguls were acutely aware of the unfolding crisis in Europe, leading to the production of anti-Nazi films like "Confessions of a Nazi Spy." The ensuing Senate investigation aimed to curb what they deemed propaganda, but studio heads rallied to defend their industry, resulting in a significant victory for Hollywood and freedom of speech.
