Titles only

Three cards. No full text. The 45 goals in this module come from the Congressional Record, not from a scrape of the books.

  • Source of the 45 goals

    The Naked Communist

    W. Cleon Skousen · 1958 / goals 1961

    Former FBI agent. Popular anti-communist primer. The 45 “Current Communist Goals” were added in the 1961 edition and read into the Congressional Record by Rep. A. S. Herlong Jr. on January 10, 1963. This module uses that Record text. The rest of the book stays under copyright and is not reproduced here.

  • Legal parliamentary capture

    And Not a Shot Is Fired

    Jan Kozak · ~1950–55 / U.S. 1962

    Czech communist official. A how-to on taking a free country through parliament, unions, and “the masses” — legally, without a shooting war. The American edition (1962) is the method-frame for this section: pressure from above joined to pressure from below. Short citation only. Buy or read a lawfully hosted copy.

  • FBI view of the CPUSA

    Masters of Deceit

    J. Edgar Hoover · 1958

    Same year as Skousen’s first edition. Hoover’s public book on the Communist Party USA as organization, recruitment, and concealment. Period document from the Bureau, not a Congressional finding and not this module’s spine. Title, year, and role only. No chapters dumped.
