When the Nazis got in power, Brecht went into exile and his books were burned. Brecht stayed close to the German border in Denmark and Finland in order to support the anti-fascist struggle in Germany, until the war forced him to leave for the US.

As founder of an outfit known as the International Brecht Society, Fuegi's motives in generating his own highly original version of the Brecht story can only be described as dubious. His interpretation of the epoch in which Brecht lived is facile and couched in sternly judgmental terms that even insist that somehow Brecht was complicit in the rise of fascism and Stalinism and the Cold War extremes of Senator Joseph McCarthy!

In the years of the Cold War and "red scare", the House Un-American Activities Committee called Brecht to account for his communist allegiances, and he was soon blacklisted by movie studio bosses. Brecht, along with about 41 other Hollywood writers, directors, actors and producers, was subpoenaed to appear before the HUAC in September 1947.
