About this title

Synopsis

With the same wit and rich visual flair as the authors' Wedding Bell Blues and Teenage Confidential, Red Scared! takes on the tense decades of Soviet/American adversity. Michael Barson and Steven Heller plunge into the power of anti-Communist propaganda, and into the effectiveness of the mass media to which much of the West succumbed. In hundreds of examples of great pop culture paraphernalia and text that takes a good look at our society's cultural output in relation to historical events, Red Scared! is a fascinating and rollicking book.
