  Class Struggle in Hollywood...

  “A taut narrative in elegant prose . . . Horne has unearthed a vitally important and mostly forgotten aspect of Hollywood and labor history.” —Publishers Weekly   As World War II wound down in 1945 and the cold war heated up, the skilled trades that made up the Conference of Studio Unions (CSU) began a tumultuous strike at the major Hollywood studios. This turmoil escalated further when the studios retaliated by locking out CSU in 1946. This labor unrest unleashed a fury of Red-baiting that allowed studio moguls to crush the union and seize control of the production process, with far-reaching consequences.   This engrossing book probes the motives and actions of all the players to reveal the full story of the CSU strike and the resulting lockout of 1946. Gerald Horne draws extensively on primary materials and oral histories to document how limited a “threat” the Communist party actually posed in Hollywood, even as studio moguls successfully used the Red scare to undermine union clout, prevent film stars from supporting labor, and prove the moguls’ own patriotism. Horne also discloses that, unnoticed amid the turmoil, organized crime entrenched itself in management and labor, gaining considerable control over both the “product” and the profits of Hollywood. This research demonstrates that the CSU strike and lockout were a pivotal moment in Hollywood history, with consequences for everything from production values, to the kinds of stories told in films, to permanent shifts in the centers of power.

  Rob, Dom and Mikey were fed up with the corporate treadmill.  When they decided to change careers, they looked for a website  to help them escape - except there wasn't one. So they started  their own. Three years later and they have started a movement  called Escape the City. Over 100,000 people have joined www.escapethecity.org in  pursuit of exciting and unconventional careers.

The Escape Manifesto is the book that the guys wish they had read  three years ago on the London Underground when they were  commuting back and forth from their corporate cubicles. It is an  inspirational call to action, packed with practical advice and  encouragement.
