Produktbeschreibung
Immersed in Red chronicles Mr. Shotwell's exposure to Marxist ideology during his formative years, experiencing irrationality of Soviet idealism in all facets of daily life. Spending two years in the U.S. Peace Corps in Venezuela as a young adult, he came face to face with the corrosive nature of communism on a budding democracy, which challenged his long-held leftist beliefs. With a deep understanding born of first-hand experience, Mr. Shotwell takes us through his compelling story of his stepfather's devotion to the anti-American Soviet cause; family friends who were entrenched in Soviet espionage; our nation's current self-destructive move toward progressivism, atheism and socialism; and his own ultimate emergence from leftist ideology. Shotwell describes the evolution of "economic Marxism" into its current guise"cultural Marxism," the early twentieth-century movement that resulted in the radical '60s and '70s, and which profoundly affects us to this day. Immersed in Red displays an authority which can only be gained from having lived the lies and discovered the truth.
