"A memorable and moving book about a man -- indeed, a family -- of Fritzgeraldian proportions -- a distinguished and gripping American saga". -- Todd Gitlin, Chicago Tribune

Through the prism of her father's life as a lawyer and well-known political activist, Patricia Bosworth sheds light on an important era in modern American history -- from the heady, hope-filled days of Roosevelt's New Deal to the dawn of the Cold War.

In the course of a remarkable career, Bartley Crum represented movie stars and labor leaders, advised presidents and presidential hopefuls, emerged as a key figure in the creation of Israel, and became a forceful voice for civil rights. But when his defense of the Hollywood Ten made him a target of the FBI's andcommunist hysteria, public pressures and personal demons brought his once-charmed life to a tragic end. Interweaving public and private vignettes, his daughter's memoir re-creates Crum's life and times with rare and moving honesty.

"Consider this beautiful, saddening book on a par with Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy....It is an extraordinary document...written with blood and tears". -- Carolyn See, The Washington Post Book World

"Extraordinary...as beautifully written as any memoir I have ever read". -- Charles Kaiser, The New York Observer

Looks great, doesn't hold much so measure carefully
Color: Gray, Size: Rectangle
I got this organizer for my husband to keep his stuff by the door. While it's a little smaller than I'd hoped, it looks great in the entryway. It's super easy to snap together, but feels like the material could be damaged easily if you're not careful. He is able to store his keys, wallet, and sunglasses in it, and throws hit hat on top. Overall we are really happy with it.

Perfect
Color: Blue, Size: Square
Just what I needed. The size is perfect as I didn’t want anything too large to place my watches and other accessories inside near the corner of my desk. Its size is essentially 7x7, and the design is sleek compared to other organizer holders. I got the color in blue and it looks stunning with the rest of my setup. I’m unsure about other reviewers, but mine came safely and the leather walls are decently thick, so it’s not too flimsy when buttoned together which holds very securely. There are hole spaces at the bottom corners once assembled, so if you have super small items such as beads or really small jewelry, they could potentially fall out, but most of my items are large enough that won’t be of concern. If you have a wire charger near by, the holes could be used to charge your smartphone inside, which has its own practical usage. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it if you’re on a lookout for a sleek but compact organizer holder, and I personally will consider getting another one in the future for myself for other household belongings.

Great for storage and display.
Color: Coffee Linen Texture
Great product! Holds plenty of knick-knacks to keep things tidy. Has a contemporary look to it and it does not look cheap at all. Perfect for office desks or living room for storing remotes.

Very attractive!
Color: Black Linen Texture
I purchased this « top of the dresser » organizer for my husband to have a place to put pocket items at the end of the day. It is weighted enough that he can open it with one hand. There is plenty of room for his billfold wallet, glasses, and other pocket items. I added a small low divided wooden organizer to the inside so that smaller items like pocket change wouldn’t rattle around. The black choice looks great atop the white dresser with its black drawer handles, and the gold accent color just glows when sunshine touches it. Over all this item is well made, very reasonably priced, attractive, and functional ! I recommend it for storage and / or gifting.

Item is as described, and actually a bit more sturdy than I had expected.
Color: Black
If someone was looking for top end, this wouldn't be that. But I never expected it to be, considering that the structure was quite accurately described. It has a fine look for the shelf underneath my printer, the structure is solid enough for me to have put a new 500 sheet package of paper and paper tray on the middle of the top without the top drawer sagging, so no problems with opening and closing, nor does it cause side to side wobble of the drawers. The drawers are fabric lined, which does a great job of keeping the items inside arranged as I have placed them. This is a review from very early in the use of the product, so I can't speak to longevity, although for my usage needs, I anticipate no problems there, either. No assembly involved, and it's at a reasonable price point. Plus, since my desk and printer stand are of similar colors and simple design, the fit is seamless. I'm entirely satisfied.
