Teaching anticommunism: Fred Schwarz and American postwar conservatism

Teaching anticommunism: Fred Schwarz and American postwar conservatism is a book by historian and lawyer Hubert Villeneuve.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Summary

[edit]

Villeneuve examines the life and career of Fred C. Schwarz, an Australian-born medical doctor and evangelical preacher who became a key figure in Cold War anticommunism. After moving to the U.S. in the 1950s, Schwarz founded the Christian Anti-Communism Crusade, which played a significant role in grassroots conservative movements and influenced American political leaders. By the 1960s, his organization was a crucial part of a growing anticommunist subculture, helping to shape the "New Right" that emerged in the 1970s. Villeneuve highlights Schwarz's transnational influence, showing how his work connected American conservatism to global anticommunist efforts. The book blends serious historical analysis with anecdotes about Schwarz's charismatic and often eccentric personality.
