Publisher's Synopsis
Theme of Communists taking over the USA.In a few short years following the end of World War II, a new showdown between the capitalist West and communist East gradually ossified. A cold war had begun. Certain leaders of the American armed forces in Europe in 1945 were disappointed that an anti-communist war in Europe did not immediately follow the fall of Hitler. The Truman administration's foreign policy "Wise Men," in the earliest years of the Cold War, predicted a global Soviet expansionist policy and recommended "containment." In the second half of the 1940s, the newly-born American postwar intelligence apparatus immediately set to combating communist influence on the ground in Western nations as well as building defenses in central Europe against the encroaching communist sphere of influence, a Western counterpart to what Churchill had termed "an iron curtain." A bunker mentality had settled over both the continent of Europe and the American homefront, with one goal: stop the spread of international communism.New edition of Israel Escamilla, with a legible cover and interior and renewed colors.
