The Russians are Coming! The Russians are Coming! - Pageantry and Patriotism in Cold War America (Paperback, New Ed)

As the saying goes, everyone loves a parade. But never more so than in 1950s America, when flag waving, martial pomp, and staged ceremony were presented and often perceived as America's last best defence against the communist threat. Historian Richard Fried, author of Nightmare in Red, ploughs new ground with this exploration of the often absurd lengths the average citizen in McCarthyite America went to to help shore up patriotism and fend off the threat of the Red Menace.
