Bernard Dick’s The Screen Is Red is an important and valuable addition to an already crowded field. It stands out because of its erudition and its encyclopedic scope. It is also beautifully contextualized, immensely readable, and judicious in its analyses."" - Phillip Deery, author of Red Apple: Communism and McCarthyism in Cold War New York""A superbly rendered account of a time in American history all too reminiscent of the toxic rhetoric so much in the air today. Drawing on philosophy, literary theory, and a comprehensive knowledge of cinema, Bernard Dick provides a vivid, crystal-clear report of media and society always in partnership and at bay."" - Paul Levinson, author of The Plot to Save Socrates and McLuhan in an Age of Social Media
