Trumbo returned to Hollywood in fighting form. He became active in the jurisdictional dispute between the IATSE and the Conference of Studio Unions, and he was named the first editor of The Screen Writer, the journal published by the Screen Writers Guild. These activities signified his continuing fight against fascism, which he now identified with the Cold War strategy of the US government.Less

Making extensive use of archival and other primary sources, this book demonstrates that the development of the “appropriation doctrine,” a system of private rights in water, was part of a radical attack on monopoly and corporate power in the arid West. It describes how Colorado miners, irrigators, lawmakers, and judges forged a system of private property in water based on a desire to spread property and its benefits as widely as possible among independent citizens. The book demonstrates that ownership was not dictated by concerns for economic efficiency, but by a regard for social justice.Less
