Powers,
Richard Gid. Not Without Honor: The History of American Anticommunism. New York: Free Press, 1995.
Schlesinger, FA , Jan./Feb. 1995: Powers discerns two main tendencies among the diverse elements of American anticommunism: "one consists of those whom he calls ... 'countersubversive anticommunists,' persons 'obsessed with uncovering plots that were, for the most part, figments of their own imagination.' The other consisted of 'responsible Americans with an anticommunim rooted in a realistic and principled view of the world.'"
In Powers' view, the irresponsible side of anticommunism overwhelmed the responsible side and, thereby, discredited anticommunism as a whole. Schlesinger argues that responsible anticommunism did not disappear, as Powers believes, but rather changed in response to the changes in the Soviet Union after Stalin. "[T]he first three-quarters of Not Without Honor is well worth reading. Then Powers goes off the rails and, by discarding the fruitful distinction with which his analysis began, ends in morass of self-contradiction."

According to a collection of cold-war documents declassified on 21 December 2007, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover "had a plan to suspend habeas corpus and imprison some 12,000 Americans he suspected of disloyalty. Hoover sent his plan to the White House on July 7, 1950, 12 days after the Korean War began." The names of the individuals to be arrested "were part of an index that Hoover had been compiling for years. 'The index now contains approximately twelve thousand individuals, of which approximately ninety-seven per cent are citizens of the United States,' he wrote."
