While the Western leaders were hammering out a peace treaty in
Paris to end the Great War, a new war had already begun. Bolshevism
the creed of the Russian Revolution had burst on the scene in 1917
and seared itself into the world s consciousness even faster than
al-Qaeda would some eighty years later. The Allied powers tried to
destroy it at its source by intervening, controversially and
unsuccessfully, in the civil war in Russia. Elsewhere there were
bloody revolutions and bloodier counterrevolutions in Germany,
Hungary, and the Baltic States; massive strikes and civil unrest
broke out in Britain, Western Europe, and in both North and South
America. In the United States, a series of terrorist bombings
created a wave of hysteria, later labeled the Great Red Scare, that
threatened the very foundations of a free and democratic society.
This book chronicles and examines the running battle with terror
during the most revolutionary year since 1789."
