...opposing foreign policy schools within the Democratic Party. Mondale was shaped by the cold war, as first waged by Harry Truman (whose 1947 Truman Doctrine sweepingly extended U.S. protection to "free peoples" everywhere) and later taught by Mondale's mentor, Hubert Humphrey. The enemy was global Communism, which had to be contained by the threat or use of force from Europe to Korea. Under President Jimmy Carter, Mondale joined in a foreign policy that stressed human rights over anti-Communist ideology. The former Vice President says he is now a "mature internationalist" who would use power as a "last...
Hart's formative experience was the Viet Nam War; as George McGovern's 1972 campaign manager, Hart was a prominent opponent of America's military involvement in Southeast Asia.

In 1956, the freedom fighters of Hungary had battled Soviet tanks in the streets, but the U.S. had not rescued them. This memory was a stark warning to us. If the Poles were to rise in response to what they took to be a signal of encouragement from Washington and fight their...
...lost." Seeing Red all but praises. Like The Good Fight, which tells the story of the Lincoln Brigade, it presents a history of America on film unavailable in any other medium. Seeing Red is a comprehensive study of American Communists that allows one to meet the ideology of communism through the once youthful eyes of those who saw an America below their standards and strove to do something about...
