Fischer, N: Spider Web The Birth of American Anticommunism

"Fischer expands our perspective of anti-communism temporally, shifting it to these late nineteenth-century roots, and deepens our understanding of it to contain clearly, and from its earliest origins, a laissez faire, open shop agenda. . . . This book will be welcomed and appreciated by those interested not only in the history of communism but also in understanding the limits of American politics in the twentieth century."--American Communist History

"Fischer's sweep is broad; his results are impressive. Recommended."--Choice
"Refreshingly original."--New York Review of Books
