The Comintern did indeed send its agents to Germany to foment revolution, and--Service misses this--set up the first Popular Front regime in Saxony in 1923.
Among the topics are the establishment of Comintern control, the emblematic battle of Body and Soul, the strategies and consequences of the first hearing in 1947, Jews and the degrees of betrayal, the Rosenbergs and Alger Hess, the denial of value and the record on film, and the myth of total McCarthyism.
He was later to head the Comintern in Stalin's USSR.
