Not as familiar with that era as I am with communists and post WWII. Are there any even handed books on it? Most of what I find on the net are either far left attacks or neo-fascist cheerleading. Has Smedley Butler been reconsidered? Seen people on the left and the right both speak highly of him. Now that we've discovered the man who helped bring him to national attention was a Soviet agent it makes one wonder whose side he was really on.
