Screen Enemies of the American Way: Political Paranoia About Nazis, Communists, Saboteurs, Terrorists and Body Snatching Aliens in Film and Television
Fraser A. Sherman
Tracks real-world fears appearing in the movies – Nazi agents, Japanese-American spies, Communist Party subversives, Islamic sleeper cells – as well as the science-fiction threats that play to the same fears. It also examines fears inspired by World War I German spies, the Japanese-American internment and the McCarthyite witch-hunts and shows how these issues played out on screen.
