Name that Book - Americans moving to USSR

Read about a book about a year ago where Americans moved to the USSR during the Great Depression with the idea that the USSR was a worker's paradise.

I thought it was called "The Forgotten", but I can not find it.

Anyone know the name of this book?

    The Forgotten Man by Amity Shlaes touches on that... It's basically a chapter or two at the beginning of the book.

    The book itself, however, is more broadly about the Great Depression up until Roosevelt's third election.

    Hmmm.

    I thought there was an entire book about it.

    Thanks for the suggestion!

    You were close, it's called "The Forsaken: An American Tragedy in Stalin's Russia", and it's right here.

    Amity Shlaes has an agenda to undo the new deal, but no idea on the link to the other book mentioned in the thread.
