Communism was never a popular ideology in America, but the
vehemence of American anticommunism varied from passive disdain in
the 1920s to fervent hostility in the early years of the Cold War.
Nothing so stimulated the white hot anticommunism of the late 1940s
and 1950s more than a series of spy trials that revealed that
American Communists had co-operated with Soviet espionage against
the United States and had assisted in stealing the technical
secrets of the atomic bomb as well as penetrating the US State
Department, the Treasury Department, and the White House itself.
This book, first published in 2006, reviews the major spy cases of
the early Cold War (Hiss-Chambers, Rosenberg, Bentley, Gouzenko,
Coplon, Amerasia and others) and the often-frustrating clashes
between the exacting rules of the American criminal justice system
and the requirements of effective counter-espionage.
