This book is a welcome contribution to the research on the relationship between radical, left-wing movements and children. What Hodgson has done is to focus on one of the unique aspects of the Young Pioneers in the US, sponsored by the CPUSA during the 1920s: their belief in the importance of children. Much of the previous work in this area has looked at the relations between red parents and their children. Hodgson takes the Young Pioneers own focus on the autonomous activity and development of the children themselves. He has found very important new sources and has brought to light childrens' stories of their own activism.---Paul C. Mishler, author of Raising Reds: he Young Pioneers, Radical Summer Camps, and Communist Political Culture in the United States A compelling analysis of interwar radicalism and the continuation of the Red Scare state. Hodgson offers new insights into young people's radical beliefs and activism and how these were shaped by a period of continued radical thought and consequent Red Scare state.---Britt Haas, Siena College
