In 1952 writer Lillian Hellman refused to name other people--although whe offered to talk about herself--before the House Un-American Activities Committee. For this singular act of moral courage she paid dearly. Blacklisted, forced to sell her home, she watched as others sacrificed friends to save their careers. Now Lillian Hellman names names as she writes her most intimate, painful and moving memoir--her personal history of an unfortunate era. "Scoundrel Time" is an intensely personal account of a great lady's refusal to compromise herself for personal profit. It is a private record of a public time told by an impressive woman in a powerful way!
