This is My Story is a memoir written by Louis Francis Budenz, an American journalist and former Communist Party member. The book chronicles Budenz's journey from his early days as a Catholic schoolboy to his eventual membership in the Communist Party USA and his subsequent disillusionment with the party and communism as a whole. Budenz provides a detailed account of his time as a member of the Communist Party, including his involvement in party activities, his work as a journalist for the party's newspaper, and his interactions with prominent party members such as Earl Browder and William Z. Foster. The book also delves into the political climate of the time, including the rise of fascism in Europe, the Spanish Civil War, and the Red Scare in the United States. Budenz's personal experiences during this tumultuous period provide a unique perspective on the political and social issues of the time.Overall, This is My Story offers a compelling and insightful look into the life of a former Communist Party member and his eventual rejection of the party's ideology. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in American politics, communism, and the history of the 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
