Meer over het boek

A timely update to a national bestseller, this book, released during the Red Scare in 1958, quickly gained popularity, selling nearly two million copies and finding its way into the libraries of the CIA, FBI, and the White House. It chronicles the tragic falls of nations like China, Korea, and Russia, and explores the histories of notable figures such as Alger Hiss and General MacArthur. W. Cleon Skousen, recognizing the need for a concise resource on the communist threat, distilled his FBI experience and extensive research into this accessible volume, which has become a cornerstone of American values, praised by figures like Ronald Reagan and Glenn Beck. The text offers a stark portrayal of communism, revealing its appeal, history, and unchanging concepts, while addressing critical questions about nuclear secrets, the FBI's fight against communism, and the West's post-World War II losses. The updated 2017 edition includes a chapter on the forty-five Communist Goals, showing how many have already been achieved in the U.S. As relevant today as it was sixty years ago, this work provides crucial insights into one of America’s ongoing challenges.
