Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
It was the misfortune of the American Left, he argues, that it not only was linked to international revolution but was large enough t obe noticed yet small enough to be crushed.
MoreLong description:
Although the term anticommunism is relatively new, the phenomenon it described has deep historical roots in the United States. Even before publication of the Communist Manifesto, Heale explains, many Americans were already forming an idealized image of their country as a Christain republic of self-reliant white men?hardly fertile ground for Marxist socialism. Heale shows how fears of foreigh ideologies and suspicion on nineteenth-century immigrant groupds healped shake American anticommunism during the age of industrialization. He then examines the period from the 1930s to the 1960s, when class conflict abated but politicians and bureasucrats had their own reasons for embracing a zealous anticommunism.
Heale concluded tha American anticommunism is not only more deep-rooted but also more rational than is often though. Hard-headed calculatoons about radicals at home and communist successes abroad were closer to the heart of red scare politics than mindless hysteria. It was the misfortune of the American Left, he argues, that it not only was linked to international revolution but also was large enough t obe noticed yet small enough to be crushed.
This succinct and sensible history shows how fear of 'Reds' was linked in the nineteenth century to the destabilizing impact of industrialization and in the twentieth century to perceptions of global insecurity. An excellent concluding chapter explains the fading of anticommunism since the days of Senator Joseph McCarthy.
