I absolutely loved this and I would definitely recommed it to anyone who would like an interesting look into the cold ware and all the propaganda surrounding it. ( ) This is a hillarious book. Our feelings about Russia and China have changed so much that seeing this overheated, red-baiting material is a shock. But it was a daily reality at mid-century. This book is copiously illustrated with photos, newspaper clippings, book covers and even "If the Devil Would Talk," the virulently anti-Communist comic book published by the Catholic Church in the 1950's. How people were able to take this stuff seriously when it was so over the top is simply hilarious as well as slightly disturbing. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Not long ago, Communists seemed to be everywhere: among our politicians, neighbors, favorite actors--even in our drinking water.Red Scared! is a wry tour of the frosty decades of Soviet and American adversity, when anti-Communist hysteria produced fairly hysterical pop-culture items. The voluminous propaganda that the United States produced to combat the Red Menace--not only officially, but in books, films, magazines, games, and more--is explored and vibrantly reproduced here. With a colorful text that serves as a useful historical overview, daring tales from government agents, plot synopses and lurid covers of unintentionallyfunny pulp novels, and much more,Red Scared! brings the Cold War back home again--this time around with humor (and relief) No library descriptions found. |
