The Russians are Coming! The Russians are Coming!: Pageantry and Patriotism in Cold War America
Fried, Richard M. (Professor of History, Professor of History, University of Illinois, Chicago)
In 1950s America, flag waving, martial pomp, and staged ceremony were presented and perceived as America's last best defence against the communist threat. In this volume, Fried explores the often absurd lengths the average citizen in McCarthyite America went to to help shore up patriotism and fend off the threat of the Red Menace.
