We are the patriots. They are the Tories. What part of the Constitution don't they understand? None dare call it treason... Back in the days when the West believed it was in imminent danger of being swept away by the Communist menace (before the collapse of the Berlin Wall necessitated the invention of the Islamic menace), books about the Soviet Union and its nefarious plans were both a dime a dozen and indeed ten a penny. Here's a few of wildly varying quality. Let's start with the mad Americans. None Dare Call It Treason by John A Stormer (crazy name, crazy guy) came out of the South in 1964 and was a raging success - this is the twentieth edition from that year, bringing the total number in print, if its figures are to be believed, up to 6.8 million. Its message is summed up on the back in words that could serve as a plot summary of Invasion of the Body Snatchers: They have infiltrated every conceivable sphere of activity: youth groups; radio, television and motion picture industries; church, school, educational and cultural groups; the press; national minority groups and civil and political units... When he says 'they', of course, he means commies of all descriptions: secret agents, fellow-travellers, dupes, the whole damn lot of them. You won't be entirely surprised to know that this concerned citizen is particularly scathing about attacks in the communist-infiltrated press on such decent institutions as the John Birch Society. You also won't be surprised to learn that he's a white man from Missouri. trashfiction.co.uk
