Methods Of The Red Menace

Nothing beats FBI paranoia about those dangerous Commies! J. Edgar Hoover's crew was so preoccupied with the Red Menace that they once drafted a confidential 68-page report focusing solely on "Communications Methods Of The Communist Party, USA." The 1954 report is such a kooky Cold War classic TSG should be peddling copies on eBay! Here are some highlights:

Page 1: Title sheet.

Pages 2-4: Some telephone tricks.

Pages 5-6: Code Names, Initials and Numbers.

Pages 7-10: Ciphers and Invisible Inks.
