Inspired by the story of a distant cousin, investigative journalist Julia Harte explores the rich and hidden history of American citizens who fought against imperialism and dictatorship abroad, only to be excoriated at home.

One night in 1940, a group of Stalinists opened fire on Leon Trotsky's compound in Mexico City. In the end, the victim was not Trotsky, but his bodyguard: a young American named Sheldon Harte. For investigative journalist Julia Harte, the quest to uncover the truth about Sheldon--her father's second cousin--was just the beginning of discovering a wider, hidden history of Americans who traveled abroad to join revolutionary liberation movements--and in return were labeled radicals by the U.S. government.
