"Who are Secret Agent Gals, Hilla Rebay and Peggy Guggenheim? Just two beautiful real-life socialite art collector ladies who later founded the Guggenheim Museum, but first answered the call of duty, joined the FBI, and pretty much won World War II all by themselves. They steal Hitler's and Stalin's mojos and use a secret weapon brewed in St. Louis to put down the Great Indian Uprising. (Of course, you remember that, right?) They save J. Edgar Hoover and his handsome sidekick Clyde Tolson from treasonous agents and The Pigeon who want to take over the FBI and run all the Post Toastiesª Junior G-Men Clubs. The Gals team up with Secret Agent X-9, Presidential Agent 103, Chief Shitting Bull, James Bonds' father Jonquil "Junk" Bond, the Bama Jamma of the Brooklyn Girls Roller Derby Team, the King and Queen of England and their corgis, and the FBI's bevy of beautiful Secret Agent Super Sluts-whew, what a list!-to uncover a secret so awful, so terrible, it shouldn't even be hinted at on the back cover of a book"--

The American anticommunist movement has been viewed as a product of right-wing hysteria that deeply scarred American society and institutions. This book restores the struggle against communism to its place in American life.
