From the foreward -- 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. Communism is more than an economic, political, social, or philosophical doctrine. It is a way of a false, materialistic "religion." It would strip a man of his belief in God, his heritage of freedom, his trust in love, justice, and mercy. This book is an attempt to explain communism - what it is, how it works, what its aims are, and, most important of all, what we need to know to combat it.
