Se omtale af anmeldelse af bogen i Arbejderbladet 29. september 1940 ved Aksel Larsen (i indskannet text af Morten Thing om Elias Bredsdorff 1912-2002).
Aksel Larsens kritiske kommentar til bogens ligger på linje med Bredsdorffs referat i ovenstående bog om John Steinbeck (side 63) “… skildringen af det kommunistiske partis virksomhed  og taktik er forkert. Amerikas kommunistiske parti har i en offentlig erklæring taget afstand fra bogen … Mac, Jim, Dick og Harry er menneskeligt set gribende kynikere; de er blot ikke – hvad man maatte faa indtryk af ved at læse bogen – kommunister.”
