The Great Menace: Americanism Or Bolshevism (1920) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781167044137)

The Great Menace: Americanism Or Bolshevism is a book written by George Whitefield Mead in 1920. The book explores the political and social tensions that arose in the aftermath of World War I. Mead argues that the two most significant threats to American society at the time were Americanism and Bolshevism. Americanism, according to Mead, was the belief that the United States was a superior nation and that its values and culture should be spread around the world. Bolshevism, on the other hand, was the ideology of the Russian Revolution, which sought to overthrow capitalism and establish a socialist state. Mead argues that both Americanism and Bolshevism posed a significant threat to American democracy and that the country needed to find a way to reconcile these two ideologies. He suggests that the solution lies in a more nuanced understanding of Americanism, one that recognizes the country's flaws and seeks to address them. Mead also suggests that the United States should engage with the Soviet Union and other socialist countries in order to find common ground and avoid a potential global conflict.Overall, The Great Menace: Americanism Or Bolshevism is a thought-provoking book that offers insights into the political and social tensions of the early 20th century. Mead's arguments are still relevant today, as the United States continues to grapple with issues of nationalism, socialism, and democracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
