Beginning in the late 1960s, John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr say,
the study of communism in America was taken over by "revisionists"
who have attempted to portray the U.S. as the aggressor in the Cold
War and saw suspicion about the American Communist Party (CPUSA) as
baseless "paranoia." In this intriguing book, they show how, years
after the death of communism, the leading historical journals and
many prominent historians continue to teach that America's
rejection of the Party was a tragic error, that American Communists
were actually unsung heroes working for democratic ideals, and that
those anti-Communist liberals and conservatives who drove the CPUSA
to the margins of American politics in the 1950s were malicious
figures deserving condemnation. The focus of "In Denial" is what
the authors call "lying about spying." Haynes and Klehr examine the
ways in which revisionist scholars have ignored or distorted new
evidence from recently-opened Russian archives about espionage
links between Moscow and the CPUSA. They analyze the mythology that
continues to suggest, against all evidence, that Alger Hiss, Julius
Rosenberg, Harry Dexter White, Lauchlin Currie, and others who
betrayed the United States were more sinned against than sinning.
They set the record straight about the spies among us. Haynes and
Klehr were the first U.S. historians who used the newly opened
archives of the former Soviet Union to examine the history of
American communism. "In Denial" is the record of what they
discovered there. They show that while the international communist
movement may be dead, conflict over the meaning of the communist
experience in America is still very much with us.
The rise of Islamic radicalism has led to heated discussions about
how best to address the threat of religious terror. Disputes
covering the right and wrong of war with Iraq, and the even bigger
war on terrorism, continue to rage across America. But this is not
the first argument of this nature-America was faced with a similar
moral dilemma on the eve of World War II. Fascism was conquering
Europe, and religious leaders across the nation vehemently debated
how to confront Nazi Germany. In The End of Illusions: Religious
Leaders Confront Hitler's Gathering Storm, Joseph Loconte brings
together pieces from the most significant religious thinkers of the
pre-war period. In these essays, the writers eloquently and
passionately present their arguments for going to war or
maintaining the peace. In doing so, they explore issues vibrantly
relevant today, including the Christian cause for war, the problem
of evil, and America's role in the world. These urgently written
pieces connect the past with the present and resonate with renewed
clarity and poignancy.
Cinema has long been recognised as the privileged bridge between
Soviet ideologies and their mass public. Recent feminist-oriented
work has drawn out the symbolic role of women in Soviet culture,
but, not surprisingly, men too were expected to play their part. In
this first full-length study of masculinity in Stalinist Soviet
cinema, John Haynes examines the 'New Soviet Man' not only as an
ideal of masculinity presented to Soviet cinemagoers, but also,
precisely, as a man in his specific, and hotly debated social,
cultural and political context. A detailed analysis of Stalinist
discourse sets the stage for an examination of the imagined
relationship between the patriarch Stalin and his 'model sons' in
the key genre cycles of the era: from the capital to the collective
farms, and ultimately to the very borders of the Soviet state.
Informed by contemporary and present day debates over the social
and cultural significance of cinema and masculinity, New Soviet Man
draws on a range of theoretical and comparative material to produce
engaging and accessible readings accounting for both the appeal of,
and the inherent potential for subversion within, films produced by
the Stalinist culture industry. New Soviet Man will be widely read
by students and specialists in the fields of film studies, Russian
and Soviet studies, gender and modern European history. -- .

This book presents a comprehensive re-examination of the cinemas of
the Soviet Union and Central and Eastern Europe during the
communist era. It argues that, since the end of communism in these
countries, film scholars are able to view these cinemas in a
different way, no longer bound by an outlook relying on binary Cold
War terms. With the opening of archives in Eastern Europe and the
former Soviet Union, much more is known about these states and
societies; at the same time, the field has been reinvigorated by
its opening up to more contemporary concepts, themes and approaches
in film studies and adjacent disciplines. Taking stock of these
developments, this book presents a rich, varied tapestry, relating
specific films to specific national and transnational
circumstances, rather than viewing them as a single, monolithic
"Cold War Communist" cinema.
