Mit dem Schlagwort der »Islamisierung« mobilisieren unterschiedliche gesellschaftliche Strömungen ihre Anhängerschaft. Es dient auch dem Kampf gegen liberale Demokratien mit ihrem gesellschaftlichen Pluralismus. Im innergesellschaftlichen Kulturkampf verlangen dabei apokalyptische Nieder- und Untergangsszenarien nach fundamentalem Wandel. Oliver Wäckerligs Netzwerkanalyse zeichnet eine transatlantische islamfeindliche Bewegung mit ihren Übergängen zur Mitte der Gesellschaft nach und zeigt eine organisatorische Kontinuität vom Anti-Kommunismus zur Islamfeindlichkeit auf. »Islam-Experten« stehen dabei in verschiedenen Rollen an den Scharnierstellen des Netzwerks und verbinden Akteure, Organisationen und Medien.

The Korean War lasted for three years, one month, and two days, but armistice talks occupied more than two of those years, as more than 14,000 Chinese prisoners of war refused to return to Communist China and demanded to go to Nationalist Taiwan, effectively hijacking the negotiations and thwarting the designs of world leaders at a pivotal moment in Cold War history. In The Hijacked War, David Cheng Chang vividly portrays the experiences of Chinese prisoners in the dark, cold, and damp tents of Koje and Cheju Islands in Korea and how their decisions derailed the high politics being conducted in the corridors of power in Washington, Moscow, and Beijing. Chang demonstrates how the Truman-Acheson administration's policies of voluntary repatriation and prisoner reindoctrination for psychological warfare purposes—the first overt and the second covert—had unintended consequences. The "success" of the reindoctrination program backfired when anti-Communist Chinese prisoners persuaded and coerced fellow POWs to renounce their homeland. Drawing on newly declassified archival materials from China, Taiwan, and the United States, and interviews with more than 80 surviving Chinese and North Korean prisoners of war, Chang depicts the struggle over prisoner repatriation that dominated the second half of the Korean War, from early 1952 to July 1953, in the prisoners' own words.

Der "Friedenskanzler" Willy Brandt ist mit seiner Ostpolitik bis heute Teil des kollektiven Gedächtnisses - in seinem Schatten steht der "Frontstadtbürgermeister", der West-Berlin entschlossen gegenüber der Bedrohung aus dem Osten verteidigte. Vor dem Hintergrund einer antikommunistisch imprägnierten politischen Kultur war der Regierende Bürgermeister zu Beginn der Zweiten Berlin-Krise (1958-1963) zur international beachteten Symbolfigur des West-Berliner "Freiheitskampfs" aufgestiegen. Nach dem Mauerbau verfinsterte sich dessen öffentliches Bild zeitweise zum "Festungskommandanten" und Kalten Krieger. Im Windschatten von Kennedys Entspannungskurs versuchte der "deutsche Kennedy" Brandt, dieses Zerrbild abzulegen - und wandelte sich zum lautstarken Verfechter einer "Friedenspolitik". Das Buch zeichnet Brandts Weg vom "Freiheitskämpfer" zum "Friedenspolitiker" nach und zeigt, dass Image beides sein kann: Symbolisches Kapital im politischen Wettbewerb wie belastende Hypothek.

In Wives, Mothers, and the Red Menace, Mary Brennan examines conservative women's anti-communist activism in the years immediately after World War II. Brennan details the actions and experiences of prominent anti-communists Jean Kerr McCarthy, Margaret Chase Smith, Freda Utley, Doloris Thauwald Bridges, Elizabeth Churchill Brown, and Phyllis Stewart Schlafly. She describes the Cold War context in which these women functioned and the ways in which women saw communism as a very real danger to domestic security and American families. Millions of women, Brennan notes, expanded their notions of ho

The Naked Communist argues that the political ideologies of modernity were fundamentally determined by four basic figures: the world, the enemy, the secret, and the catastrophe. While the “world” names the totality that functioned as the ultimate horizon of modern political imagination, the three other figures define the necessary limits of this totality by reflecting on the limits of representation. The book highlights the enduring presence of these figures in the modern imagination through detailed analysis of a concrete historical example: American anti-Communist politics of the 1950's. Its primary objective is to describe the internal mechanisms of what we could call an anti- Communist “aesthetic ideology.” The book thus traces the way anti-Communist popular culture emerged in the discourse of Cold War liberalism as a political symptom of modernism. Based on a discursive analysis of American anti-Communist politics, the book presents parallel readings of modernism and popular fiction from the 1950's (nuclear holocaust novels, spy novels, and popular political novels) in order to show that, despite the radical separation of the two cultural fields, they both participated in a common ideological program.
