He is known chiefly for his books Sabotage! The Secret War Against America (1942), related to Nazi and German-American subversive activities in the United States; and The Great Conspiracy: The Secret War Against Soviet Russia (1946). The latter described leading Soviet communists as foreign spies, based on their confessions at the Moscow Trials.For a time during the 1930s, Kahn had been a member of the Communist Party in the United States, but had changed his thinking by the 1940s and opposed it and the Cold War. In the late 1940s he was blacklisted and unable to gain publication by a mainstream publisher until 1962. In the early 1950s, he and Angus Cameron, an editor formerly with Little, Brown who had also been blacklisted, founded Cameron & Kahn publishers.Albert E. Kahn's father, Moritz Kahn, was a senior engineer in Albert Kahn Associates, and worked with his two brothers there, Albert Kahn and inventor Julius Kahn.Early life and educationKahn was born in London, England in 1912 to an affluent, politically conservative Jewish family. His father Moritz was one of three brothers and became an engineer. His brothers were Albert Kahn, who became known in the United States and internationally as an industrial architect, and inventor Julius Kahn. Albert Kahn founded Albert Kahn Associates in Detroit, Michigan, in which his brothers were associates. Albert Kahn Associates established an office in Moscow in 1930 to train and supervise Soviet architects and engineers, and to design industrial facilities. Moritz Kahn had the lead to set up the Kahn brothers' Soviet Union operation in the early 1930s as a collaboration with Gosproekstroi, the Soviet office for industry.Educated in the United States, Kahn attended Phillips Exeter Academy and Dartmouth College, where he was a star athlete. His education included Shakespeare. Later in life he said that the study of King Lear first awakened in him a sense of injustice.
