Publisher's summary

"Russian influence" may have entered our national pop-consciousness in Election 2016, but it is the shiny, deceptive, contested, and buried X-factor of a century of wars in Washington. In American Betrayal, Diana West digs deep to uncover 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 and unceasing war between those wishing to conceal the truth and those trying to expose the 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 Kremlin-directed 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, "court histories" of an era that begins with FDR's first inauguration 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 is the basis of the tryanny of the "Swamp" today. It was this moral surrender to deception and self-deception, West argues, that sent us down the long road to moral relativism and "political correctness". In American Betrayal, Diana West shakes the historical record to bring down a new understanding not only of our past, but our present.

A Gut Renting Read

If you love America this book will make you angry! It will make you cry! It will cause sleepless nights. And it will wake you up from the big lies. I pray it’s not too late to save our country.
Thank you Ms West!

Infuriating discoveries and secrets revealed!

Diana west reminds me of princess Diana in the new wonder woman movie. Discovering that the root of all evil is within her own government. My how things have changed had this information not been methodically squished. I feel enraged, lied to, and beguiled now I want to spread the truth so it never happens again.

Be a good human and read this book.

Excellent!! Extensive research on the subject .

The author's narration was exquisite. I'll listen to this book again so that I can soak up more of the history she has so meticulously laid out for the reader.

A book America needs to read

Speed up the narration to about 1.25 and it clips along at a good pace. The content is invaluable. The US needs to hear this.

Eye Opening History Lesson!

This book should be read by every middle & high school teacher, so we stop reteaching lies.
My father served in WWII in the Europeon theater and refused to reenlist because, he said, we were too cozy with 'the godless communists'. I now know what he meant after this well researched and documented book!

The more I learn the more I despise

Knowing how many people died for the tricks of Communism, the laziness and shortsightedness of politicians makes me sick.
What's worse is when you try to explain how bad it is. Even worse yet is that the media and general public is so blissfully complicit in their willful ignorance.
Every time I see a kid in a Che shirt or anyone who is a communist or even a socialist.. I was to throw up.
These people spit on the graves of great Americans and the founding fathers of this nation.
FDR, is despicable... we cannot let this continue. Thanks to Diana West for this great read and guide to the reality of the time surrounding WWII and today.

The story they wish you never heard.

It's a good book, grew up hearing the praises of FDR seems like he was dooped at best a globalist at worst. Islam and China could be making the same play. Listen to it make up your own mind.

She has done a great job on this one! This should be a required textbook in every high school in the United States.

Challenging, but excellent...

What a book! As someone who grew up during the last years of cold war, this book is pretty challenging to almost all of my knowledge about world war 2, cold war and post 1989 era in my country. There is a lot of answers to questions, I was asking for the last 30 years. This book definitely proves the necessity for history revision. Highly recommended!

Should be required reading for all

Shocked by the facts in this book. My parents always believed FDR was the savior of the free world and come to know, from this book, he was a complete dupe of a now proven, communist plant in his own administration, Harry L. Hopkins. Joe McCarthy was complete accurate to get really crazy about the enormous infiltration into every facet of elite levels, by the communists. We are now truly reaping the whirlwind they sowed in the early 20th century. Let us join together to defeat this foe NOW, before it's truly too late and we find all true patriots in soviet style gulags.
