商品簡介
Though the Red Scare began in earnest only after World War II, Sbardellati (history, U. of Waterloo, Canada), shows how the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) began looking into possible communist propaganda in popular films during the 1920s, and increased its vigilance during the war. He discusses such aspects as a movie problem, producing Hollywood's Cold War, the coalescence of a counter-subversive network, the infamous 1947 trials of the House Unamerican Activities Committee, and rollback.
