"Witness" by Whittaker Chambers is another book to read.You can google and find"Forward in the form of a letter to my children".He exposed Alger Hiss and was never believed by the elites, who adored Hiss.The infiltration of our government by the Communists during and after WW2 is frightening.

I've heard of that book, but never read it.

However, as a kid, I had a socialist uncle who defected to Cuba, and he sent me constant streams of propaganda, communist texts, books on Marxism/Leninism, and various left-wing guerilla warfare manuals - It was pretty fascinating for a young kid to read this stuff. I learned to read russian a little in order to digest some of the stuff that wasn't in english LOL

Then, researching on my own, I began looking closer at history, and I was able to see clearly that not only was Communism evil, but was able to see how amazing they were at manipulation of the masses - it scared me, in fact...

I became, much to the disappointment of my uncle, a fervent anti-communist, and it was really his fault - the "too-good-to-be-true" stuff he was sending me made me look closer, and that is what did it - looking closer.
