American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on Our Nation's Character by Diana West

In The Death of the Grown-Up, Diana West diagnosed the demise of Western civilization by looking at its chief symptom: our inability to become adults who render judgments of right and wrong. In American Betrayal, West digs deeper to discover the root of this malaise and uncovers a body of lies that Americans have been led to regard as the near-sacred history of World War II and its Cold War aftermath.

Part real-life thriller, part national tragedy, American Betrayal lights up the massive, Moscow-directed penetration of America’s most hallowed halls of power, revealing not just the familiar struggle between Communism and the Free World, but the hidden war between those wishing to conceal the truth and those trying to expose the increasingly official web of lies.

American Betrayal is America’s lost history, a chronicle that pits Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight David Eisenhower, and other American icons who shielded overlapping Communist conspiracies against the investigators, politicians, defectors, and others (including Senator Joseph McCarthy) who tried to tell the American people the truth.

American Betrayal shatters the approved histories of an era that begins with FDR’s first inauguration, when “happy days” are supposed to be here again, and ends when we “win” the Cold War. It is here, amid the rubble, where Diana West focuses on the World War II--Cold War deal with the devil in which America surrendered her principles in exchange for a series of Big Lies whose preservation soon became the basis of our leaders’ own self-preservation. It was this moral surrender to deception and self-deception, West argues, that sent us down the long road to moral relativism, “political correctness,” and other cultural ills that have left us unable to ask the hard questions: Does our silence on the crimes of Communism explain our silence on the totalitarianism of Islam? Is Uncle Sam once again betraying America?

In American Betrayal, Diana West shakes the historical record to bring down a new understanding of our past, our present, and how we have become a nation unable to know truth from lies.

An Amazon Review...

This author has done a tremendous service in proving, near proving, or presenting most reasonable conclusions for a number of axioms regarding the unpatriotic representation that MANY of our past and present governmental officials have stood for. These include:

1. The fact that Marxism has made a more significant impact on the culture in the United States than most people think.
2. That Roosevelt worked and lived side-by-side with a "co-president," Harry Hopkins, for three and one-half years and Hopkins was almost definitely a communist. Hopkins probably determined policy for the U.S. during that time.
3. That many in the legislative and executive branches of the U.S. government (and the media) have done an incredible job of deceiving the American public with regard to numerous issues involving the communists since World War II.
4. That thousands of soldiers were allowed to languish away in Soviet labor camps after World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War while President after President refused to do anything about it.
5. That Islam and Communism have much in common.
6. That the number of Communists who have infiltrated the U.S. government since the 1930s is overwhelmingly higher than anyone thought.
7. That Joe McCarthy was right about all his conclusions about Communist infiltration.
8. That many, many opportunities to shorten the second World War were ignored by President Roosevelt.
9. That the German resistance movement during WWII was effective and could have been used to end the war as early as 1943.
10. That it was probably Joseph Stalin's idea to attack from the French front in 1944.
11. That Roosevelt was surrounded by commies.
