Immersed in Red chronicles Mr. Shotwell's exposure to Marxist ideology during his formative years, experiencing irrationality of Soviet idealism in all facets of daily life. Spending two years in the U.S. Peace Corps in Venezuela as a young adult, he came face to face with the corrosive nature of communism on a budding democracy, which challenged his long-held leftist beliefs. With a deep understanding born of first-hand experience, Mr. Shotwell takes us through his compelling story of his stepfather's devotion to the anti-American Soviet cause; family friends who were entrenched in Soviet espionage; our nation's current self-destructive move toward progressivism, atheism and socialism; and his own ultimate emergence from leftist ideology. Shotwell describes the evolution of "economic Marxism" into its current guise"cultural Marxism," the early twentieth-century movement that resulted in the radical '60s and '70s, and which profoundly affects us to this day. Immersed in Red displays an authority which can only be gained from having lived the lies and discovered the truth.

Immersed in Red chronicles Mr. Shotwell's exposure to Marxist ideology during his formative years, which touched every facet of daily life. As a young man he came face to face with looming communism in Venezuela during his Peace Corps service in the late 1960s. This wakeup call, coupled with his developing understanding of the horrors produced by twentieth century socialism, led to a complete break from his ideological past. With comments on the second edition, an index, bibliography and published articles, Mr. Shotwell offers readers important insights into the origins of today's hard-driving race to the left: - The European forerunners of Cultural Marxism in higher education - The compulsion to dismantle religion and the family - Demands for societal conformity and reliance on the State Our current social and political upheaval have been a long time in the making. Immersed in Red reveals the groundwork that has brought us to this disturbing crossroad.
