COLD WAR COMMUNISM FEARS Second Red Scare - Sept 1945 Proved there were spies within American government Soviet spies were trying to find info about the atomic bomb Fear of subversion: the effort to secretly weaken a society and overthrow its government Loyalty review program - Created by Truman in 1947 Screened all federal employees to see if any were spying for the Soviet Union Between 1947 and 1951 over 6 million federal employees were screened for their loyalty Reading the wrong books, belonging to certain groups, traveling overseas, and watching certain foreign films would make them a suspect

COLD WAR COMMUNISM FEARS HUAC (House Un-American Activities committee) - investigate communist activity in US and hold public hearings Project Verona 1946 – American cryptographers cracked the soviet spy code of the time Able to read around 3,000 messages between Moscow and the US Confirmed extensive e soviet spying in the US The US decided to not make the intercepted messages public to keep the Soviets from learning how the US penetrated their codes U2 Incident 1960 – US spy plan shot down over Soviet airspace and pilot, Francis Gary Powers, captured Massive retaliation (the policy of threatening to use nuclear weapons if a Communist state tried to seize territory by force) Brinkmanship (threatening to go to the brink of war to force the other side to back down)

FAIL-SAFE MOVIE SYNOPSIS It's the middle of the Cold War. Armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons, the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. stand toe to toe, ready to destroy each other, and the world, on a moments' notice. The countries rely upon the logic of Mutual Assured Destruction to prevent war. One day, due to a mechanical failure, a group of U.S. war planes, armed with hydrogen bombs, flies off toward the Soviet Union. It's target is Moscow. It doesn't respond to orders to return. WHAT DO WE DO NOW?!!! The President of the United States is called upon to make quick and important decisions. How can he assure the Soviet Premier that this is not the start of an all out nuclear attack? If the bombers cannot be stopped, how does he propose to convince the Soviet Union not to launch an attack that will destroy the United States? Or, as some advise, should he simply order an all out first strike and start WW III with a big advantage?
