Exposing Communism and Restoring Freedom
A timely update to a national bestseller, this book, released during the Red Scare in 1958, quickly gained popularity, selling nearly two million copies and finding its way into the libraries of the CIA, FBI, and the White House. It chronicles the tragic falls of nations like China, Korea, and Russia, and explores the histories of notable figures such as Alger Hiss and General MacArthur. W. Cleon Skousen, recognizing the need for a concise resource on the communist threat, distilled his FBI experience and extensive research into this accessible volume, which has become a cornerstone of American values, praised by figures like Ronald Reagan and Glenn Beck. The text offers a stark portrayal of communism, revealing its appeal, history, and unchanging concepts, while addressing critical questions about nuclear secrets, the FBI's fight against communism, and the West's post-World War II losses. The updated 2017 edition includes a chapter on the forty-five Communist Goals, showing how many have already been achieved in the U.S. As relevant today as it was sixty years ago, this work provides crucial insights into one of America’s ongoing challenges.
This best-selling classic, frequently highlighted by Glenn Beck for Fox TV viewers, delves into the life of George Washington, a pivotal figure in America's founding. Ralph Waldo Emerson once stated that there is no history, only biography, a sentiment that rings particularly true for Washington. His life story intertwines with three critical events: the Revolutionary War, the Constitutional Convention, and his role as the first President. Without his leadership in these moments, America's existence as we know it would be in jeopardy. The enduring admiration for Washington, even after two centuries, is explored in this work, which provides an intimate look at the man often referred to as the father of our country. Instead of relying solely on historians' interpretations, much of the narrative is conveyed through Washington's own words. The book's second part compiles significant excerpts from his writings, organized by subject for easy reference. Published by the National Center for Constitutional Studies, a nonprofit dedicated to upholding Constitutional principles, this work serves as an important resource for educating Americans about the foundational values established by the Founding Fathers.
