Immersed in Red: My Formative Years in a Marxist Household (Revised and Updated) Mike Shotwell

Immersed in Red chronicles Mr. Shotwell's exposure to Marxist ideology during his formative years, which touched every facet of daily life. As a young man he came face to face with looming communism in Venezuela during his Peace Corps service in the late 1960s. This wakeup call, coupled with his developing understanding of the horrors produced by twentieth century socialism, led to a complete break from his ideological past.

With comments on the second edition, an index, bibliography and published articles, Mr. Shotwell offers readers important insights into the origins of today's hard-driving race to the left:

- The European forerunners of Cultural Marxism in higher education

- The compulsion to dismantle religion and the family

- Demands for societal conformity and reliance on the State

Our current social and political upheaval have been a long time in the making. Immersed in Red reveals the groundwork that has brought us

to this disturbing crossroad.
