The researcher states that the context of the book is about how communism was still perpetuated by the Maryland party which resulted to an investigation being conducted by the House Un-American Activities (HUAC) investigation’s into the Communist Party in Maryland1. By 1944, the Communist Party had attained the peak of its influence in Maryland. The author argues that anti-communism is a mix of responsible as well as extremist elements within a movement. Purposely, the title Memories of the Red Decade as cited by Warren describes the period in American history from the 1930s that were characterized by the widespread infatuation with communism with specific focus to Stalinism3. There was a very close relationship between American parties and the Soviet Union thus the need to conduct investigations. After the Second World War, Americans emerged with a renewed sense of confidence. Most of them did not agree with the communist views of the Soviet Union and its allies. The emergence of the Cold War offered political authority to the anticommunist political forces that targeted where communists were influential. Kennan notes that anticommunists rejected the idea of historical materialism that was the core concept in Marxism4. The American values were intolerable to the principles of communism thus the need to eliminate the radicals. On one hand, the HUAC investigations revealed that the good courses of eliminating the communists as well as having little negative effects to the intended targets. Pedersen is of the opinion that anticommunism prevented the workers from being exploited.
