The dictionary identifies Jay Lovestone by the birth name Jacov Liebstein, records his birthplace as Lithuania, immigration to the United States around 1907, and attendance at City College of New York. It describes his transition from Communist Party leadership to shaping organized labor’s postwar anti-communist foreign policy, including work with the AFL-CIO Department of International Affairs.
