Hardboiled Activist: The Work and Politics of Dashiell Hammett

Hardboiled Activist painstakingly traces the political trajectory of Dashiell Hammett, author of The Maltese Falcon and The Thin Man, from the nihilist who found life meaningless, to the anti-fascist who championed the Spanish Republic, to the defender of civil rights who went to prison rather than betray his principles during McCarthyism.
