The book profiles several influential Communists including a colorful newspaper editor who was elected state senator and later national chairman of the Farmer Labor Party, as well as his comrade, the county sheriff, who was allegedly involved in graft, prostitution, and bootlegging. In spite of its notoriety, the farmers’ movement became one of the nation’s most successful rural Communist organizations during the 1920s.   By the beginning of the Depression decade, however, Communism in northeastern Montana was crippled. The Red Corner details this strange reversal of fortune by examining newspaper accounts, FBI reports, and internal Communist Party files, offering insights on how movements arise, sustain themselves, and decline.… (mehr)

Fascinating read. While we think of the West as a land of rugged individualism, this book tells a story of farmers who tried to band together to break monopolies and keep more of the money that their cros were worth. From its regional beginnings in the late 1800s, until just before the Depression, communism had adherents in the far northeat corner of Montana. Not in a mining or industrial town but rather in a place where farmers struggled to earn a decent living. As much a story of journalistic rivalry as politics, this very human story will interest anyone fascinated by peculiar moments in history. ( )
