"In 1952, in the midst of McCarthy-era paranoia,.. his reëntry permit was revoked"
You know why? What tipped the scales is high profile British writer listing him (along with some other people) as potential communist in a secret list submitted to Intelligence.
You know who compiled that list? George Orwell.
