Overview
Drawing on archival material and oral history, Lieberman (history, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale) illustrates how grassroots peace activism in the United States became associated with Communist subversion after World War II, allowing proponents of the Cold War to virtually silence opposition until the early 1960s. She also shows how, by challenging both internal and external anti-Communist attacks, peace activists were able to achieve a new level of respectability. Annotation c.
