More about the book

Set during the McCarthy era, this true story follows a mathematician who bravely confronts anti-Communist congressmen while defending his First Amendment rights. Facing the House Un-American Activities Committee, he stands as a symbol of resistance against a system veering towards fascism. His testimony and subsequent imprisonment for contempt of Congress highlight the intense political climate of the time and the personal sacrifices made by those who opposed the prevailing ideologies.
