A nostalgic look at the golden years of Russiaphobia, red-baiting, and other Commie madness. Both amusing and 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 -- and naivet} -- 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 and lives.
