One of Kind Must Read for Cold War Historians and the Curious

This book is an incredible eye witness account of progressive children's education and summer camps in upstate New York Post World War Two. This is a one of kind cold war history book, featuring appearances by Paul Robeson, Canada Lee and Pete Seeger among the many colorful campers and counselors who make up this, until now , untold history of racially integrated, Leftist children's camp. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Not just any ol' camp

Tales of Wo-Chi-Ca showed me, intimately from the inside, an amazingly exciting and influential radical-left children's camp of the 1930's and '40's. The book gave me a crystal-clear image of the beautiful and loving side of the old radical left that the ugliness of McCarthyism undermined. Just as a good read, the book kept moving me and causing me to tell my wife about what I had just read.
