Features: This book begins by discussing the unique cultural background of the United States, exploring why Americans hold such an antagonistic attitude toward communist ideology and socialist countries, and why American political culture is incompatible with Marxism. The book also examines how American anti-communism, during the Cold War and after its end, was reflected in its foreign policy toward socialist countries. It points out that when national interests are severely threatened, ideological demands may yield to practical considerations, while in times of national strength and when the opponent's ideological demands are also strong, the book emphasizes the reinforcement of ideological colors in foreign policy.
