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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnti-Communism in Twentieth-Century America: A Critical History\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Larry Ceplair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1440800472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781440800474\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 1.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2011 pg. 41","brand":"Larry Ceplair","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43986195448063,"sku":"9781440800474","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2b8c866b-7f72-4ae4-aa90-5552424b9e0d.jpg?v=1683281924","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/anti-communism-in-twentieth-century-america-larry-ceplair-9781440800474","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
