John Stormer

John Anthony Stormer (February 9, 1928 – July 10, 2018) was an American author and political activist, best known for his influential work "None Dare Call It Treason" (1964), which became a hallmark of conservative and anti-communist thought during the Cold War era. The book argued that communists had infiltrated key American institutions, including the government, military, and education system, and were actively working to subvert the United States from within. It was published in the context of growing fears about communist influence and sold millions of copies, helping to galvanize conservative political movements in the 1960s.

Stormer's work resonated with far-right groups and conservative activists who were concerned about the perceived spread of communist ideology in America. The book was widely distributed among conservative groups, and its message aligned with the growing anti-communist sentiment of the time, spearheaded by figures like Senator Barry Goldwater.

Stormer later continued his activism, writing other works and being involved with Christian conservative education. He held leadership roles within Christian schools and emphasized themes of morality, patriotism, and vigilance against foreign and ideological threats in his publications.

Key works:

• "None Dare Call It Treason" (1964)
• "None Dare Call It Education" (1998)

Stormer’s work remains a part of American political discourse, particularly in conservative circles.
