Books on anti-communism

[Radek]

Are there any good books you could recommend on historical 'anti-communism'? I'm thinking here of state repression (direct, sponsored or passively permitted) ranging from anti-union activities/anti-combination laws, to the White Terrors of Russia, China and Spain, to Cold War antics in South America, to COINTELPRO, etc.

If there are any books that give a broad history I'd be particularly interested, though good books on specific countries or events would be good as well.

The most infamous anti-communist book is probably Mein Kampf. I don't think it's a secret that back in the 1930 the communist parties were the parties of choice for the Jewish people (and) a lot of other working class people. Jewish peoples support for communism is probably Hitlers dislike for it. Their opposition were the nazi party (think Hitler) and in Britain, British union of fascists (lead by Oswald Mosley)opposed communism, and trade unionism.

Mein Kampf, Hitler memoirs, outlines (what he thinks) are the pit-falls and problems of communism and trade unionism. And of course anti-Semitism is thrown in.

A very anti-communist book.

Killing Hope by William Blum concentrates on US foreign policy which of course is itself a long history of anti-communism, I think it would fit in this case. I don't really agree with his politics but its a good book.
