For the book The American Peace Crusade, 1815–1860, see Merle Curti.
American Peace Crusade (APC) was an American peace advocacy organization. Established during the Korean War, the federal government identified the organization as a Communist front.[1][2] Pitirim Sorokin, a Russian American sociologist and professor at Harvard University, was a sponsor of this organization.[3] The Guide to Subversive Organizations and Publications published by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) characterized APC as a group formed by the Communists to function "as a new instrument for their 'peace' offensive in the United States."[3]
American Peace Crusade is characterized as "Communist-led peace group",[4] and a "pro-Soviet peace initiative".[5] Historian Marian Mollin notes that the APC believed the United States to be the "greatest threat to world peace".[5] According to historian Lawrence S. Wittner, the APC was the last Communist-headed peace organization in the United States.[4]
