Described by one critic as a "product of the McCarthy era [which] contains what was perhaps the most explicit political propaganda ever found in a popular dramatic series on American television."

Today it stands as a genuine period piece, reflecting the stereotypes that were all to prevalent during the Red Scare of the 1940s and early 1950s. In this television program, Communist spies really were behind every bush, and anyone with liberal views was indeed suspect.

The program had a documentary flavor, opening with an announcer booming: "This is the fantastically true story of Herbert A. Philbrick, who for nine frightening years did lead three lives - average citizen, member of the Communist Party, and counterspy for the F.B.I. For obvious reasons the names, dates and places have been changed, but the story is based on fact."

This thick book will be released in June of 2007. Inside you will find:

* A complete production history of this fascinating program, including memories and quotes from Richard Carlson, Frederic Ziv, and others.

* A complete episode guide listing in extreme detail, all 117 episodes in production order, including dates they were filmed, complete cast lists, where each scene was filmed on location throughout California, and other pieces of trivia so detailed it'll make your head swim.

* Reprints of story ideas and suggestions that just never fleshed out into a feasible television episode.

* Internal correspondence between Philbrick and the television producer so you can see first hand exactly what kind of involvement the real Philbrick had with the production of this series.

* Background information about Philbrick's book, including reprints of book reviews, and Philbrick's opinions about how his involvement with the F.B.I. founded the book, and how the book changed his life.

* Brief critical essays about other Anti-Communist films including RED PLANET MARS (1952), I WAS A COMMUNIST FOR THE F.B.I. (1951), and INVASION U.S.A. (1951) to name a few, and their influence and comparison with the I LED THREE LIVES series.

* Plus much, much more!
