“The signs were there in 1950s after the end of WWII. We needed more outspoken people like Joseph McCarthy to speak out against Marxism.”
I think what drove this book was the fact that the ‘guest workers’ in France, after WW2 (when their male population had been wiped out by both WW2 and especially WW1) NEVER went back home, but instead imported their wives...and then, of course, had kids. He saw it coming, DECADES before, probably, any of us (my wake-up date was 2005, although the East Germans did warn us in 1989 or so, just before the wall fell).
There was a silver lining to being behind the Iron Curtain.
