    This work examines in a comparative historical way the socialist, liberal and conservative strands of Anglo-American anticommunist thought before the Cold War. In so doing, this book provides us with an intellectual pre-history of Cold War attitudes and policy positions.

    Ruotsila has produced an impressive intellectual history of British and US anti-Communism, from conservative reactions to the rise of socialism in the 1880s through the onset of the cold war in the mid-1940"s."
