Synopsis
Tracing the evolution of anti-communism from the Bolshevik Revolution to the collapse of communism in recent years, this book challenges the basic understanding of the nature of anti-communism. It draws connections between anti-communism as an internal American control mechanism, and anti-communism as an instrument of foreign policy, relating these aspects in turn to a study of psychology, national mythology and culture. It further relates anti-communism to deep-rooted structures in Western Christianity, connecting, for example, the book of Revelation to nuclear arms policy; the inquisitions in Europe to McCarthyism; and archaic mythologies of the hunt to J. Edgar Hoover's anti-communist crusade.

Synopsis
What amounted to an American civil religion for nearly half a century was at least as much a spiritual as a political phenomenon. It succeeded because it mobilized fears about America's own social and individual identities against a demonized enemy. This book deploys psychoportraits of leading politicians and ideologues to trace the evolution of anticommunism from the time of the Bolshevik Revolution to the denouement of the "Evil Empire" in the age of Reagan and Bush. Joel Kovel is the author of "White Racism", "A complete Guide to Therapy" and "The Age of Desire".
