Navasky adroitly dissects the motivations for the investigation and offers a poignant analysis of its consequences. Focusing on the movie-studio workers who avoided blacklists only by naming names at the hearings, he explores the terrifying dilemmas of those who informed and the tragedies of those who were informed on. Drawing on interviews with more than 150 people called to testify--among them Elia Kazan, Ring Lardner Jr., and Arthur Miller--\u003ci\u003eNaming Names\u003c\/i\u003e presents a compelling portrait of how the blacklists operated with such chilling efficiency.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVictor S.
