Better Dead Than Red A Nostalgic Look at the Golden Years of Russiaphobia, Red-Baiting, and Other Commie Madness

A nostalgic look at the golden years of Russiaphobia, red-baiting, & other Commie madness. Both amusing & a sobering reminder of the way we were, this book showcases America reveling in the golden age of Russiaphobia, an age in which our patriotic passions -- & naivetŽ -- were never stronger. But a unique kind of national fear also ran high -- in ways that now seem nearly unbelievable, but which forever altered attitudes & lives. An enlightening, startling, & often hilarious selection of the day's magazines, editorials, films, ads, paperback novels, comic books, TV shows, & even bubble gum cards, exemplifying America's xenophobia at its greatest excess.Barson, Michael is the author of 'Better Dead Than Red A Nostalgic Look at the Golden Years of Russiaphobia, Red-Baiting, and Other Commie Madness' with ISBN 9780788191831 and ISBN 0788191837.
