American Anticommunist.

In his younger years Lyons was a member of the Young People’s Socialist League the youth section of the Socialist Party USA.

He became critical of the Soviet Union after working there as a correspondent of United Press International.

During the early 1940s and the Second Red Scare which followed World War II, Lyons was a frequent contributor to the popular press on anti-Communist themes, targeting liberals if Lyons deemed them inadequate in their denunciations of the Soviet regime.

Lyons also wrote a biography of President Herbert Hoover.

Quotes by Eugene Lyons (?)

“Limousines with liveried chauffers delivered earnest ladies to the picket lines, sometimes in strikes against businesses which helped pay for the limousines.”
― Eugene Lyons, The Red Decade: The Stalinist Penetration of America

“Whenever the communists are under fire, it [the term "red-baiter"] has served to divert attention from the subject matter to futile discussion of personal motives, the critic’s private life and other deliberate tricks of befuddlement.”
― Eugene Lyons, The Red Decade: The Stalinist Penetration of America
