An Un-American Childhood is the amazing story of Ann Kimmage's experiences as the child of American communists who, at the height of McCarthyism in 1950, fled the United States to avoid possible espionage charges. What Kimmage had at first been led to believe was a brief sojourn became a transforming, thirteen-year journey to Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union, East Germany, and China. Ending with their disillusioned return to the United States, her family's saga presents a mix of international political intrigue and personal drama. An Un-American Childhood tells of a family twice torn from its cultural roots and tried, tested, and changed by and for its beliefs.
