American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on Our Nation's Character Description
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.

I purchased American Betrayal upon the recommendation of a dear friend, a veteran of World War II and Vietnam, who serves
as Chaplain for the National Vietnam & Gulf War Veterans Coalition. When I made my initial examination of American Betrayal,
I came across a reference to Moscow Bound by John M. G. Brown, and was utterly astounded. Brown is an old friend and a true
patriot and by virtue of the reference, I sensed that the Chaplain's recommendation could not have been more appropriate.
American Betrayal not only identifies our enemies but also their supporters who smear and denigrate those who would deny
the opportunity to tell the truth and expose them. It also is indicative of our government's position and efforts, on the surface, to engage the enemy while doing little or nothing but render lip service, at best, and giving aid and comfort to the enemy at worst. A prime example is the government's referral to the recovery of America's missing servicemen (which they seldom, if ever, refer to prisoners of war)as our nation's highest national priority and as a testament thereof orders the
POW-MIA flag flown over government buildings. Nevertheless, those Americans still held prisoner were abandoned and exploited
by our government for political and economic reasons. However, as a face-saving measure to show its concerns the government
negotiates and bribes, to obtain the remains of our missing servicemen who were still alive in communist captivity long after the conflicts, from the Siberian Expedition in 1919 through Vietnam, were deemed to have ended. As Dr. Kissinger once referred to "military men 'as dumb stupid animals to be used' as pawns of foreign policy." Ms.
Diana West's newest book "American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on our Nations Character" is a highly researched, blockbuster of a story taking 356 pages to tell with 29 pages of notes. Heavily documented, her thesis is that the US didn't win World War II, the Soviets did with massive help from the British Commonwealth and the US. In fact, this was the conclusion of M. Stanton Evans and Herbert Romerstein's book of 2012, Stalin's Secret Agents: The Subversion of Roosevelt's Government. On p. 199 the authors state that "It's evident that the real victors of World War II weren't the United States and Britain, France or China, but the Soviet Union and its world wide web of vassals, satellites, and agents. This book is a great compliment to West's "American Betrayal." In order to accomplish this feat, the USSR had some 500 Soviet Spies and fellow travelers, taking orders from Stalin in Moscow, implanted in the State Department, Treasury Department, Agriculture Department,Department of War, OSI and various other departments, the media and even in the executive office of FDR himself in the guise of Harry Hopkins the "co-president." These people took their orders from Moscow and insured that the American People were lied to every step of the way about the influence of the Soviets on the policy and conduct of World War II, down to picking the Northern French site of Normandy for the D-day invasions. As West points out it would have been much simpler to invade Europe from Italy where the allies had beaten and discombobulated the German Army. From Italy the approach North into Germany would have made excellent sense. Instead, troops from Italy (including my father) were pulled out of Italy and assembled on the Normandy Beaches.
