Ink notation on fep. Louis C. Fraina (October 7, 1892 - September 15, 1953) was a founding member of the Communist Party USA in 1919. After running afoul of the Communist International in 1921 over the alleged misappropriation of funds, Fraina left the organized radical movement, emerging in 1926 as a left wing public intellectual by the name of Lewis Corey. During the McCarthy era, deportation proceedings were initiated against Fraina-Corey. After a protracted legal battle, Corey died of a cerebral hemorrhage before the action against him was formally abandoned. In 1918 Fraina was responsible for the first post-revolutionary collection of the writings of V.I. Lenin and Leon Trotsky to be published in the United States.] The book, entitled The Proletarian Revolution in Russia, gave English-speaking readers their first glimpse at the ideas of the Russian Communist Party. Disillusioned with the incessant factionalism that seemed to render the fledgling communist movement impotent, Fraina and family returned to the United States from Mexico in 1923. The allure of writing again began to call Fraina, however, and in May 1926 he published the first of a handful of articles in the liberal news weekly, The New Republic. Fraina marked his comeback with the adoption of a new pen name â" Lewis Corey â" a name formed by adapting his first name and middle initial. This pseudonym was made permanent through a legal name change. In the film Reds, Fraina was portrayed by Paul Sorvino. In 1930 Corey publish his history of The House of Morgan, which documents the history, operations, and methods of J.P. Morgan & Co.'s finance banking and of its historical and political-economic context at the center of the creation of Wall Street finance capitalism -- forthright, unvarnished, well-documented. In retrospect, his biographer later observed, it seemed as though Corey was possessed by a "fervent desire to write his way back into the Communist movement."[37] Corey seems to have had no qualms about the political role of the Communist Party, eagerly signing the manifesto of the League of Professional Groups for Foster and Ford, thereby endorsing the CPUSA's 1932 Presidential ticket. A history of the Morgan family from their colonial beginnings to the creation of a financial empire that still reigns today, Corey's The House of Morgan is an in depth look into one of the most influential financial institutions in U.S. History. Who were the men that controlled the American economy for much of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries? And, in a country that prides itself on equality, what were that advantages and consequences of having so much money and power held by so few?
