Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In his 1997 State of the Union address, President Bill Clinton blandly asserted that "One of the greatest sources of our strength throughout the Cold War was a bipartisan foreign policy. Because our future was at stake, politics stopped at the water's edge." According to national political columnist Mona Charen, this is a perfect example of how today's liberals have completely rewritten history to cover up their own role on the wrong side of the Cold War. After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the implosion of the Soviet Union, America's leading liberals turned on a dime. Not only did they never acknowledge their naivete regarding the Soviet Union and communism, they went further, and claimed that, of course, they had been cold warriors all along. Vladimir Lenin once famously predicted that Western liberals would serve as "useful idiots." Indeed, many did, and now Mona Charen has collected together the evidence to call them to account. Synopsis:This book is a perfect example of how today's liberals have completley rewritten history to cover up their own role on the wrong side of the Cold War. Synopsis:Includes bibliographical references (p. 265-286) and index.
Synopsis:Syndicated columnist and CNN commentator Charen offers a moral indictment of those public figures--politicians, entertainers and professors--who, she says, stubbornly refused to see communism for what it was: a brutal, dictatorial death machine. Table of ContentsThe brief interlude of unanimity on communism — The consensus unravels — The bloodbath — The mother of all communists : American liberals and Societ Russia — Fear and trembling — Each new communist is different — Post-communist blues.
