"In writing this book I have been guided by many years of study and observation of the communist conspiracy in action in the United States.
"As a Special Assistant to the Attorney General of the United Slates in 1919, I was assigned to prepare a legal brief on the newly formed Communist Party and Communist Labor Party. This necessitated an extensive and penetrating study.
"The amount of material was voluminous: Party statements, resolutions, platforms, news accounts, manifestoes, the very first documents of American communism. I studied also the writings of Marx, Engels, and Lenin as well as the activities of the Third International.
"In this brief, which was submitted to the Attorney General, I concluded:
""These doctrines threaten the happiness of the community, the safety of every individual, and the continuance of every home and fireside. They would destroy the peace of the country and thrust it into a condition of anarchy and lawlessness and immorality that passes imagination.
""Today, as I write these words, my conclusions of 1919 remain the same. Communism is the major menace of our time. Today, it threatens the very existence of our Western civilization.""
- J. Edgar Hoover, in the Foreword to his 1958 book Masters of Deceit
