FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover called him “the most dangerous Communist in the United States” – his name was Herbert Aptheker (1915 – 2003) and in this magazine article he explained to his readers that as he traveled the Western states he saw an America that was heartily “sick of the Cold War”. Aptheker made it quite clear to everyone he met that he felt that the Soviet Union was the most perfect democracy in the world. Loyal to the end, when the Soviet Archives were laid bare for all to read he still refused to believe that Alger Hiss and the Rosenbergs were guilty of treason.
