I don't think you can discuss anti-communism in the context of the 60s
without delving into sources from the 50s:
I would suggest:
* Naming Names*, Victor Navasky.
*Scoundrel Time*, Lillian Hellman.
*Alien Ink* (can't remember the author).
*The Red Menace*, Michael Anania (a novel).
*Centralia Dead March*, Thomas Churchill ( a chilling novel about the
castration of Wobblies in Centralia, WA).
*Official and Confidential: The Secret Life of J. Edgar Hoover*, Anthony
Summers (describes Hoover's power over the Kennedy Brothers as well as LBJ
because of personal information he had on them).
*The Public Burning*, Robert Coover ( novel about Nixon and the Rosenbergs).
*Seeing Red* (a documentary on the American Communist Party).
*Hollywood 10* (a documentary on the blacklisting of Dalton Trumbo and
other Hollywood writers, directors and producers).
