American Betrayal

Résumé du livre

Uncover the shocking truth about America's hidden history during World War II and the Cold War in Diana West's groundbreaking book, American Betrayal.

In this real-life thriller and national tragedy, West digs deep to expose 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. American Betrayal illuminates 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, chronicling the battle between American icons like Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry Truman, and Dwight David Eisenhower, who shielded overlapping Communist conspiracies, and the investigators, politicians, and defectors, including Senator Joseph McCarthy, who tried to tell the American people the truth.

West argues that America's moral surrender to deception and self-deception during this era 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. American Betrayal shatters the approved histories of an era, bringing down a new understanding of our past, our present, and how we have become a nation unable to know truth from lies.
