The Cold War mentality left its imprint on politics and culture during the late 1940s and early 1950s. A certain paranoia permeated the early Cold War years. The nature of the fight against Communism contributed to the paranoia. Politicians warned Americans that Communism silently and secretly destroyed a country from within. Although allegedly directed from Moscow, its aim was subversion through the slow destruction of a country’s moral fiber. No one knew which institution it would next attack, or when. The politicians told Americans to watch for the unexpected, to suspect everyone and everything. As a result, between 1945 and 1955 a broad spectrum of institutions, organizations, and individuals came under suspicion.
