Only Victims: A Study of Show Business Blacklisting is a nonfiction historical study by actor and scholar Robert Vaughn, first published from his doctoral research in the early 1970s. The book examines the Hollywood blacklist and the wider entertainment industry investigations tied to the House Committee on Un-American Activities, focusing on film, television, and legitimate theater during the Cold War era. Rather than treating blacklisting as a narrow episode of celebrity politics, Vaughn presents it as a deeper case study in censorship, public intimidation, and the damage caused when constitutional protections are weakened by fear. His central concern is not only what the committee did openly, but also what creative work was never produced because artists, writers, and performers anticipated punishment. The result is a carefully documented account of how ideological pressure reshaped American show business and how First Amendment principles were tested under anti-Communist scrutiny.
