This compelling, critical analysis of anti-communism illustrates
the variety of anti-Communist styles and agendas, thereby making a
persuasive case that the "threat" of domestic communism in Cold War
America was vastly overblown. In the United States today, communism
is an ideology or political movement that barely registers in the
consciousness of our nation. Yet merely half a century ago,
"communist" was a buzzword that every citizen in our nation was
aware of-a term that connoted "traitor" and almost certainly a
characterization that most Americans were afraid of. Anti-Communism
in Twentieth-Century America: A Critical History provides a
panoramic perspective of the types of anti-communists in the United
States between 1919 and the collapse of the Soviet Union. It
explains the causes and exceptional nature of anti-communism in the
United States, and divides it into eight discrete categories. This
title then thoroughly examines the words and deeds of the various
anti-Communists in each of these categories during the three "Red
Scares" in the past century. The work concludes with an
unapologetic assessment of domestic anti-communism. This book
allows readers to more fully comprehend what the anti-communists
meant with their rhetoric, and grasp their impact on the United
States during the 20th century and beyond-for example, how
anti-communism has reappeared as anti-terrorism. Pictures of the
