Seeing Reds: The Red Scare of 1918-1919: Canadaa's First War on Terror: The Red Scare of 1918-1919: Canada's First War on Terror - Hardcover
Inhaltsangabe
Seeing Reds tells the story of a turbulent period in Canadian history, when in 1918-19 the Canadian government, fearful in the wake of the Russian Revolution, tried to suppress radical political activity at home by branding legitimate labor leaders as "Bolsheviks" and "Reds." Daniel Francis examines Canada's Red Scare in a global context, including government responses to similar activities in the United States and Europe, as well as its ramifications for the contemporary war on terror, in which issues of free speech and political dissent are similarly compromised in the name of national security.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. Signed and inscribed by author upon title page. "At the end of WWI Canada was poised on the brink of social revolution. At least that is what many Canadians, inspired by the success of the Russian Revolution in 1917, hoped and others dreaded. This book tells the story of this turbulent period when a fearful government tried to suppress radical political activity by branding legitimate labour leaders as 'Bolsheviks' and 'Reds.' The story builds toward the events of the Winnipeg General Strike, when the authorities, believing that the expected revolution had begun, sent soldiers into the streets to put down with force a legitimate labour dispute." - dust jacket. 280 p. Footnotes. Index. Black and white reproductions of photos. Clean, bright, tight and unmarked with very light wear. An excellent signed example. ; 8vo; Signed by Author. Artikel-Nr. 722j2073
