description: Matusow was a pathological liar, a scammer, and a con man. After some years as a zealous communist he switched sides and became a paid informant for Joe McCarthy, HUAC, and anybody else willing to cough up money. After naming lots of folks, some real communists and some just unfortunate enough to catch his eye, he became repentant (or claimed to have become repentant) about ruining careers and sending folks to jail and wrote his mea culpa, "False Witness." At that point the feds slammed HIM into jail. Over the course of a long lifetime he told so many stories, probable and improbable, that no one can begin to figure out where the truth lies. In his later years he was involved with lots of avant garde theatrical and counter-culture groups and movements whose politically naive members tended to take him at his word. The introduction to this pamphlet ends, "All proceeds from this book are dedicated to the service of our non-profit foundation, The Gandhi Peace Centre and its Magic Mouse Theatre, which is dedicated to serving children through non-violent creative outlets."
