Produktbeschreibung

"Hollywood and Anticommunism" stands as an important contribution to McCarthy era literature and should appeal to all interested in the early Cold War and the impact that unwarranted hysteria has had and continues to have on the growth and development of the nation.

Hollywood and Anticommunism traces the evolution of the so-called "red menace" phenomenon as a means of demonstrating the correlation between growing American paranoia and the success of the anticommunist campaign (1935-1955).
