Counterattack Project, 1947-1970
This collection contains FBI documents pertaining to monitoring of the publication and publishers of Counterattack, which sought to provide the average American with "facts to combat communism." Counterattack was a weekly subscription-based, anti-communist, mimeographed newsletter, which ran from 1947 to 1955 and was published by American Business Consultants, a "private, independent organization.” Founded by former FBI agents, Counterattack attempted to elucidate examples of communist activity within the United States, failures of the government to protect against communists, and to rally troops against communism.
