Those Wonderful, Terrible Years: George Heller and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists

I am a member of AFTRA and I think this book surprised the heck out of me. I thought it might be a dry tellling of the union's history. But no, Ms. Harvey really knows how to tell an engaging tale out of the story of this entertainment union. It really is a page turner, with passages about the Black-listing era that were exciting, depressing and had real echoes and lessons for today. I know Ms. Harvey had access to all of AFTRAs' minutes, and this book reflects the inside story...which is sometimes shocking in its facts. This book is excellent.
