About this ebook

I Led Three Lives: Citizen, Communist, Counterspy, first published in 1952, is a fascinating account of the author’s infiltration into the American Communist party in the 1940’s as a counterspy who then passed on his information to the FBI. Beginning as an advertising executive in Boston, Philbrick was inadvertently drawn into a front organization of the Communist Party. He was subsequently recruited by the U.S. Government to document Soviet efforts, operations and plans in the U.S.A. The book concludes with his testimony at the 1949 trial of the top eleven Communist Party-USA leaders. I Led Three Lives was a bestseller after its 1952 release, and was made into a popular television series of the same name. Included are five pages of illustrations.

By 1956, the Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA) had ceased to be relevant. Having barely survived the intensive internal security measures implemented by the U.S. government in the early 1950s, the main blow to the CPUSA came, ironically enough, from the party’s Soviet patron. Nikita Khrushchev’s February 1956 “secret speech,” which implicated his predecessor Joseph Stalin in numerous crimes, brutally disabused many party members of their notion that Stalin’s Soviet Union represented a bright pinnacle of human progress. Most CPUSA members left the party by the end of the decade.
The demise of the CPUSA did not, however, stop the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) from continuing its relentless campaign to root out any vestige of communist influence from American society, however trivial. By the mid-1950s, the committee’s public hearings into the remnants of the CPUSA had evolved into a performative shaming ritual in which those witnesses who took the Fifth Amendment to avoid self-incrimination were then subject t
