Keep Your Head Down is a memoir written by Walter Bernstein, an American screenwriter and journalist. The book chronicles the author's experiences during the Cold War era, particularly his involvement in left-wing politics and his subsequent blacklisting by the Hollywood establishment. Bernstein's narrative takes readers on a journey through the tumultuous political climate of the 1950s and 1960s, as he and other members of the left-leaning Hollywood community faced accusations of Communist sympathies and were forced to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee. Despite the intense pressure and scrutiny he faced, Bernstein refused to betray his principles or his colleagues, and instead chose to keep his head down and continue working in the industry under a pseudonym. Through his personal anecdotes and reflections, Bernstein offers a unique perspective on the cultural and political upheavals of the time, shedding light on the complex tensions between artistic expression, political ideology, and personal freedom. Overall, Keep Your Head Down is a compelling and insightful memoir that offers a glimpse into one man's struggle to maintain his integrity and creative vision in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
