Resumen del Editor
A central figure in the Hollywood Ten and one of the most successful screenwriters in Hollywood history, two of Trumbo's screenplays earned Oscars (Roman Holiday and The Brave Ones) while he was blacklisted and unable to receive public credit for his work. Trumbo was also the author of Johnny Got His Gun, winner of the National Book Award and one of the most powerful antiwar novels ever published. He epitomized the spirit of American capitalism, yet he went to jail refusing to talk about his membership in the Communist party.
As a result of his relentless fight for political freedom and the right to work for those blacklisted by the House Un-American Activities Committee beginning in 1947, he ended the blacklist era in 1960 by earning proper screen credit for his work on the blockbuster films Exodus and Spartacus. An extraordinarily complex character, he was, as author Bruce Cook states, "an exemplar of a certain set of American virtues: toughness, independence and persistence". Dalton Trumbo was the central figure in the Hollywood Ten, the blacklisted and jailed screenwriters. One of several hundred writers, directors, producers and actors who were deprived of the opportunity to work in the motion picture industry from 1947 to 1960, he was the first to see his name on the screen again. When that happened, it was Exodus, one of the year's biggest movies.

Ayn Rand is the author of two phenomenally best-selling ideological novels, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, which have sold over 12 million copies in the United States alone. Through them, she built a right-wing cult following in the late 1950s and became the guiding light of Libertarianism and of White House economic policy in the 1960s and '70s. Her defenses of radical individualism and of selfishness as a "capitalist virtue" have permanently altered the American cultural landscape.

The result is the definitive portrait of one of the most fascinating figures of the 20th century.

If You Enjoyed the Movie You Will Enjoy the Book
Which scene was your favorite?
His acceptance speech which if I remember correctly was given to the Writer's Guild of America, West when they gave him credit for his work on the movie “Roman Holiday”.
Any additional comments?
The book covers Trumbo's life from childhood until his death which helps one to better understand the man. The movie which I thoroughly enjoyed covers his life primarily during the period of the Hollywood Blacklist.

Cook lays it down; Trumbo was true salt of the earth
Throughout Cook’s examination of Trumbo, there’s a lingering question about whether Trumbo could have been more prolific in his work had he played some of his cards differently. The question even seems to nag a bit for someone like me, being fairly familiar with, and fond of, Trumbo’s work. Although never specifically addressed by Cook, in an organic fashion that may not have been intended, I think that Cook’s talent shines through in vailing the entire story with an implicit rebuke to this explicit underlying question—Sure, Trumbo could have been a more prolific novelist or he could have been an excellent press secretary or an excellent journalist, and so on, with no real end in sight—Trumbo was an exceptionally dynamic man...he was brilliant, cunning, and calculating…but he lived a meaningful life, an examined life, as far as any person may so understand. That’s the rebuke. We should all be so fortunate; we should all be so aspirational and driven. In my view, the penned perspective of Trumbo’s life herein is the only compendium needed to “Johnny Got His Gun” and the catalogue of Trumbo’s professional output, rendering the proliferation question moot. Trumbo is an American icon and shouldn’t be forgotten or neglected. Yet, if you’ve checked out some of the writing credits for various “black list” films of the time on Wikipedia, it appears that that’s exactly what’s happening. And that’s all the more reason why I felt compelled to write this review.

Dull
It's hard to believe this book was the basis for the movie Trumbo. The movie is very good and covers the exciting part of his life.
This book starts with Trumbo 's youth and plods along.
But even when it gets to the blacklist it is dull.
Worse the narrator has chosen a very grating accent for Trumbo as well as many other characters. And the narrator's normal voice is just as bad.
If you want to hear a better book, get Kurt Douglases book "I am Spartacus. "
It covers how Douglas broke the blacklist by hiring Trumbo. And is narrated by Michael Douglas.

Would've been able to listen to it all but..
Where does Trumbo rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It was a great story but the actor that read the narration was so monotone I couldn't take it
What did you like best about this story?
The actual story was great. It was wonderfully written, and an awesome read.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Luke Daniels?
I don't know.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
I don't know

Blacklisted
I found the book interesting but not nearly as engaging as I had hoped. It's a bit dry in spots, the reader is good and does a good job distinguishing the characters. The most interesting parts are at the midway point once we get into the red scare part, but even then something is missing. Overall still happy listening, not sure if there's rereading value. IMHO

Hollywood history / writing genius
Would you listen to Trumbo again? Why?
I really enjoyed Trumbo and the history of the black listed writers, actors, directors, etc in a time of history that made Trumbo and broke other artists. I heard about the recent movie and wanted to know more about the Dalton Trumbo. The historical context and political influences that wreaked havoc with people's lives and creativity was told in compelling and honest narrative. Great read.
What did you like best about this story?
Dalton Trumbo's resolve to support his family and his willingness to do all kinds of work to write and support his family was impressive. The extent to which the governrment hearings that resulted in the blacklisting of many people is tragic
What does Luke Daniels bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Luke Daniel's reading of the book was stellar. He was able to consistently create characters that I felt and felt for throughout the story.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Creativity (writing genius) lives even in the darkest of times.
