04773) THE RED NETWORK , A Who ’s Who and Handbook of Radicalism for Patriots , by Elizabeth Dilling ( Mrs Albert W. Dilling 9 , Published by the Author , Kenilworth , Illinois , Chicago 1934 ,
Self-published in 1934, this rare 352-page title details the organizations and individuals the author views as pro-Communist, anti-American, and anti-Christian. The first half summarizes the many organizations and their perceived crimes, and the back half is simply a list of names, addresses, and personal information about the individuals she considers the worst offenders. Also included are several facsimiles of `damning` evidence proving the anti-American sentiments of the ACLU, various unions, etc.
The ACLU specifically takes the brunt of the author`s ire, and we can infer was of particular interest to the book`s previous owner. He has bracketed in pen several passages about the ACLU`s `crimes` (such as `The American Civil Liberties Union is the `respectable front` in the United States of America for the organized forces of revolution, lawlessness, sabotage, and murder.`). Also tucked in the book (and included with this sale) is a page from what appears to be a March 1935 issue of The Open Forum, a newsletter of the ACLU, that mentions The Red Network. Also attached is a facsimile letter from the County of San Diego to the author thanking her for her book, pages 111-118 of which were used as evidence in a successful case against the ACLU. In this copy of the book itself, those pages 111-118 are the ones the owner has bracketed and underlined favorite passages.
The Red Network is a fascinating curiosity and primary source in American history
