During the years 1947-1952 the Cold War, the anti- communist foreign policy of the U.S. government, and the reassertion by the American Communist party of its allegiance to the Soviet Union, the international communist movement, and a literal Marxist-Leninist ideology gradually gave rise to an anti-communist hysteria and to the repression and persecution of American Communists. Author Peter L. Steinberg shows that both the Truman Administration and the Communist Party were in part responsible for the McCarthy era that followed. Both were reacting to the ideologiical warfare conducted by J. Edgar Hoover. Using his allies in government, Hoover took advantage of the Cold War atmosphere to demand demonstrable action against communists. The Truman Administration responded with a loyalty program that seemed to legitimze the American people's worst fears, leading to demands for further action. The Communist Party's decision to go underground played into the hands of its enemies. Steinberg sees the attack on American communists as a necessary prelude to the demand for patriotic conformity and as a factor contributing to the development of an internal political police.

This book written for the intermediate player covers the bridge basics in about a 4 hour read. The author deals where the reader is presented with typical problems faced at the bridge table and how to tackle the many No trump contracts that are likely to occur. The presentation is exemplary and I wish that all bridge books would adopt this format. As a teaching book these hands are most instructive and I do not hesitate in recommending this book to both students and other teachers alike.

These Ghostly Archives offers a groundbreaking and unique look at Sylvia Plath studies. Focusing on previously unpublished material found in archives from all around the world, These Ghostly Archives aims to reconstruct the ghostly figure of Plath within our culture via unseen letters, manuscripts, photographs, places and poems. This book approaches archival studies exploring both the practical and experiential work carried out in the archive highlighting the ‘detective’ type work that it involves and the traces left behind from history. However, for the first time, this book also combines the sociological notion of ‘haunting’ – that is, the archive as a location where both the researchers haunt the research subject and in turn are haunted by the traces left behind. Never is material culture more powerful than when associated with the dead. Never is the archive more ghostly than when haunted by the absent presence of Plath. This book showcases the necessity to leave no archival box or folder left unopened, and how the researcher and the archive can change even though its documents might stay the same.
