Book excerpt: In The Red Decade: Stalinism in 1930s America, Eugene Lyons offers a compelling account of the influence of Stalinism on American politics and culture during the 1930s. Lyons, a former communist turned anti-communist, provides a unique perspective on the ways in which the Soviet Union's ideology and propaganda infiltrated various aspects of American society, from the arts and literature to labor unions and political organizations. While the book was originally published in 1941, its insights remain relevant today as a cautionary tale about the dangers of totalitarian ideologies and the importance of defending democratic values.
