In the early 1960s, the CCF mounted a campaign against the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, an ardent communist.
At its height, the CCF had offices in 35 countries, employed dozens of personnel, and published over 20 prestigious magazines. It held art exhibitions, owned a news and features service, organized high-profile international conferences, and rewarded musicians and artists with prizes and public performances.[1][3]
