J. EDGAR HOOVER reveals the facts that have taken more than forty years
to uncover. These are the facts that Americans do _not_ know about
communism.
This is the exposé of the Communist Party from its beginning down to the
present. It tells who the communists are, what they claim to be, why
people become communists and why they break away from the Party.
Here is the picture of what life is like within the Party—the inside
story of communist strategy and methods of mass agitation, the inner
workings of its espionage and sabotage activities.
Here is the vivid and shocking picture of what this country would be like
under a communist system, and what you can do to fight this ever-present
danger.

“_Every citizen has a duty to learn more about the menace that threatens
his future, his home, his children, the peace of the world—and that is
why I have written this book._”—J. EDGAR HOOVER
