Can you protect America from communism without destroying the freedoms that make it democratic?

Step into the shoes of an American political leader during the Cold War in this new ActiveHistory simulation.

As tensions with the Soviet Union escalate, fear of communist infiltration spreads across America. You must navigate political pressure, espionage scares, public opinion and the growing influence of McCarthyism.

Every decision has consequences. Five key indicators track your progress:

• Security – Protecting America from external and internal threats.
• Fear – Managing public anxiety and suspicion.
• Civil Liberties – Defending democratic freedoms.
• Political Power – Maintaining influence and authority.
• Reputation – Protecting your standing with the public.

But what does success actually mean? The simulation measures three things: SUCCESS, INTEGRITY and KNOWLEDGE.

Can you keep America safe without sacrificing its democratic principles?
