<DIV><b>Fast&rsquo;s book on his break with the Communist Party, and a riveting tribute to the importance of justice and beauty over dogma and rigidity</b></div><BR><DIV><i>The Naked God</i> is Howard Fast&rsquo;s public repudiation of the Communist Party, of which he was a devoted member for thirteen years until reading about the full scope of atrocities committed by the Soviet Union under Stalin. The bestselling author of <i>Spartacus</i> and <i>Citizen Tom Paine</i>, Howard Fast lent his writing talents and celebrity to the communist cause as a steadfast advocate and public figure. However, he felt increasingly ill at ease with the superior manner Party leaders took with rank-and-file members and with rumors of Soviet anti-Semitism. In his first book after officially leaving the Party in 1956, Howard Fast explores the reasons he joined and his long inner struggle with a political movement in which he never felt he truly belonged.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Howard Fast including rare photos from the author&rsquo;s estate.</div>
