In The Roosevelt Myth by John T. Flynn, 1948 (50-year commerative edition 1998 with foreward by my history prof Ralph Raico) the awful betrayal of Eastern Europe is too vivid.
Roosevelt had the same hubris expressed by Hussein: Roosevelt would win Joe over with persuasive power of personality, just as Hussein would do if he could chat up Awkward Imadeadjihad.
Was McCarthy correct. Ann Coulter calls M. Stanton Evans the greatest living authority on McCarthy. I watched Evans destroy Dr. Robert Risk head of Indiana Civil Liberties Union when the former was editor of the now-defunct Indianapolis News. Evans cites Venona as confirmation of McCarthy's claims.
Reds in the government, oh my.
How inconvenient to have Patton privy to the inner sanctum's plans.
Look what was done to Nixon for outing Hiss.
Who lost China? Who covered up the Stalin purges? Who fired MacArthur?
Did Soviet technique have a missing link between ax and polonium.
Certainly a state of covert action which could dress a corpse up with a manacled satchel of bogus invasion plans could snap a geezer's neck like a carrot.
Maybe Newt's wrong; maybe Vince really drove himself to the park but left his keys with Craig Livingston, explaining their absence from the former's person.
Patton was unlucky; Forrestal wasn't slipped LSD by Sydney Gottlieb; MacArthur was just violating protocol.
Our friend tasked with establishing the Chinese order of battle right after the Korean conflict suggested MacArthur had a method to his madness, but he was interrupted.
So, instead of nuking the Chinese, we now have as SecState half of the team which gave them our missile secrets in a 200-page fax in 1995, gave them our warheads via the so-picked-upon Wen Ho Ho Ho, gave them anything they wanted through John Huang Mr. Fax hisself.
Treason never prosper
What's the reason
For if it prosper
Then none dare call it treason
Caution: Entering Age of Hussein--limited freedom next four years
Before he died Patton was assigned to the Army History Division, or some such.
He would have had access to just about everything he would need to prove his suspicions!
Patton would have had a field day with contemporary WWII archives.
Perhaps someone figgered that was the last place Patton needed to be?

You are so right. Please let me know what you think about it after reading it. I may have to put it on my list.
Merry Christmas Phil, to you and yours.
The history not taught in public schools.
If I were not a Christian, I would say that McCarthy is going spastic in his grave right about now.
Thanks for the memo: I will look for the book, The Roosevelt Myth.
So I reckon you already read Seeds of Fire?
