Albert E. Kahn

Albert Eugene Kahn (May 11, 1912 – September 15, 1979) was an American journalist, author, publisher, and photographer. He is known chiefly for his books ''Sabotage! The Secret War Against America'' (1942), related to Nazi and German-American subversive activities in the United States; and ''The Great Conspiracy: The Secret War Against Soviet Russia'' (1946). The latter described leading Soviet communists as foreign spies, based on their confessions at the Moscow Trials.

For a time during the Great Depression, Kahn had been a member of the Communist Party, but he changed his thinking within a few years and opposed the Party. In the early-to-mid 1940s, he authored or co-authored several successful books of investigative journalism. At the end of the decade, however, he found himself blacklisted and unable to gain publication by a mainstream publisher. In response, he and Angus Cameron, an American editor who had also been blacklisted, formed their own publishing house, Cameron & Kahn. The blacklist eventually eased for Kahn in the 1960s and he resumed his career as an author. Provided by Wikipedia
