被美国古斯塔夫斯·迈尔斯人权研究中心评为杰出书籍。“对保存历史记忆做出了宝贵贡献……在九个诙谐而清晰的章节中，惠特菲尔德带我们从 20 世纪 40 年代末到 1960 年代初……对于那些经历过 20 世纪 50 年代的人来说，这本书将带回痛苦甚至尴尬的回忆；对于那些没有经历过 20 世纪 50 年代的人来说，这本书及时提醒了他们可能会发生什么。妖魔化敌人、不加批判地颂扬自身美德、坚持以知识整合作为文化接受度的考验的社会。”——保罗·博耶，《原子科学家公报》。“生动而详细地描述了冷战如何产生并由超级爱国主义、不宽容和怀疑维持，以及这些病态如何影响 20 世纪 50 年代美国生活的各个方面——娱乐、教堂、学校。年长的读者会记得并且仍然会记得。惊讶；年轻人会发现这是对美国过去的奇异方面的可读介绍。”——《外交事务》。
Named an Outstanding Book by the Gustavus Myers Center for the Study of Human Rights in the United States."A valuable contribution to the preservation of historical memory... In nine witty and crisply written chapters, Whitfield carries us from the late 1940s to the early 1960s... For those who lived through the 1950s, the book will bring back painful and perhaps embarrassing memories; for those who did not, it offers a timely reminder of what can happen to a society that demonizes its enemies, uncritically celebrates its own virtues, and insists onintellectual conformity as a test of cultural acceptance."--Paul Boyer, Bulletin of Atomic Scientists."A lively and well-documented account of how the Cold War both produced and was sustained by super-patriotism, intolerance and suspicion, and how these pathologies infected all aspects of American life in the 1950s-entertainment, churches, schools. Older readers will remember and still be amazed; younger ones will find this a readable introduction to a bizarre aspect of the American past."--Foreign Affairs.
