| Summary: |
Published testimony from the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) dated July 1958 to December 1959. Printed during the height of the second Red Scare, pamphlets cover subjects such as communist ideology, status of communist parties in Western Europe and Japan, and repression of the church in China and North Korea. The folder also contains an 1959 essay written by FBI director J. Edgar Hoover (1895-1972) entitled "Communist Illusion and Democractic Reality." In it Hoover argued communist infiltration into the United States required greater cooperation between federal authorities and local law enforcement. Folder also includes an essay entitled "The Fatal Virus of a Static Strategy" written by Australian military affairs analyst George Fielding Eliot (1894-1971). Fearing American weapons facilities were vulnerable from preemptive attack, Eliot argued for greater military spending on mobile platforms for nuclear weapons such as US Navy aircraft carriers and submarines. |
