Overview
"British and American Anticommunism before the Cold War contextualizes anticommunism with contemporary movements towards social reform and international organization, and demonstrates the centrality of anticommunist thought to some of the major policy projects of the twentieth century. However, the work also reveals the deep divides within the liberal, socialist and conservative parts of the anticommunist movement. The author claims that these ideological divisions are important explanations for the Cold War itself - that it was as much a struggle within the broad anticommunist community as it was of the West against the Soviet Union."--BOOK JACKET.
