Series V: Manuscripts, 1936-1948, inclusive

Series V: Manuscripts (1936-1948) is the largest series in the collection. Many of the manuscripts in this series are undated, however, Dunne did not begin writing manuscripts until approximately the mid-1930's. For several of the manuscripts, there are multiple drafts. Few were ever published, although Dunne made an extensive effort to publish his History of the Communist Party and Trade Unions in the United States. Dunne's Survey of the Negro Press was presumably bought by a major film company. Some of the manuscripts in this series are Catholic Doctrine and Anti-Semitism, The CPUSA and Revisionism, Hard Times Coming, and World Imperialist War.
