Compare and contrast two of the arguments presented in Schrecker’s book: J. Edgar Hoover’s testimony to Congress (Document 4) and Sidney Hook’s “Cold War Liberal View of the Communist Threat”

Critically analyze them in the context of your assigned readings in the rest of the Schrecker book. Where do they specifically overlap and differ in the arguments they present? What are the weaknesses of BOTH arguments? It’s important for you to understand that both of these authors exaggerate the threat of the Communist Party/Movement in America during the Cold War, but they do so to different extremes and through different methods (i.e., Hook’s distinction between heresy and conspiracy which you must explain). This assignment is not just asking you to summarize two arguments. You must draw out specific points where these authors differ in their arguments (and both authors DO differ over the level of threat communism posed, and how to deal with that threat.) You must also bring in examples (with page number cites) from throughout the book, not just the two authors.
