In the book which accompanies the Bear Family Records Weavers box set (written, I think, by Dave Samuelson?) there is a long discussion of the political maelstrom in which the Weavers were caught up. A shorter mention can also be found in the booklet which accompanies the Vanguard Records box set "The Weavers: Wasn't That A Time." (Disclaimer: I produced and annotated the Vanguard set, but have no financial involvement, nor do I profit in any way from its sales.)
