American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on Our Nation’s Character

By: Diana West

Narrated by: Diana West

"Russian influence" may have entered our national pop-consciousness in Election 2016, but it is the shiny, deceptive, contested, and buried X-factor of a century of wars in Washington. In American Betrayal, Diana West digs deep to uncover a body of lies that Americans have been led to regard as the near-sacred history of World War II and its Cold War aftermath.

Part real-life thriller, part national tragedy, American Betrayal lights up the massive, Moscow-directed penetration of America's most hallowed halls of power, revealing not just the familiar struggle between Communism and the Free World, but the hidden and unceasing war between those wishing to conceal the truth and those trying to expose the official web of lies.

American Betrayal is America's lost history, a chronicle that pits Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight David Eisenhower, and other American icons who shielded overlapping Kremlin-directed conspiracies against the investigators, politicians, defectors, and others (including Senator Joseph McCarthy) who tried to tell the American people the truth.

American Betrayal shatters the approved, "court histories" of an era that begins with FDR's first inauguration and ends when we "win" the Cold War. It is here, amid the rubble, where Diana West focuses on the World War II - Cold War deal with the devil in which America surrendered her principles in exchange for a series of Big Lies whose preservation is the basis of the tryanny of the "Swamp" today. It was this moral surrender to deception and self-deception, West argues, that sent us down the long road to moral relativism and "political correctness". In American Betrayal, Diana West shakes the historical record to bring down a new understanding not only of our past, but our present.

A Gut Renting Read

If you love America this book will make you angry! It will make you cry! It will cause sleepless nights. And it will wake you up from the big lies. I pray it’s not too late to save our country.
Thank you Ms West!

Infuriating discoveries and secrets revealed!

Diana west reminds me of princess Diana in the new wonder woman movie. Discovering that the root of all evil is within her own government. My how things have changed had this information not been methodically squished. I feel enraged, lied to, and beguiled now I want to spread the truth so it never happens again.

Be a good human and read this book.

Excellent!! Extensive research on the subject .

The author's narration was exquisite. I'll listen to this book again so that I can soak up more of the history she has so meticulously laid out for the reader.

A book America needs to read

Speed up the narration to about 1.25 and it clips along at a good pace. The content is invaluable. The US needs to hear this.

Eye Opening History Lesson!

This book should be read by every middle & high school teacher, so we stop reteaching lies.
My father served in WWII in the Europeon theater and refused to reenlist because, he said, we were too cozy with 'the godless communists'. I now know what he meant after this well researched and documented book!

The Most Important Book of the Century!

Diana marshals a gargantuan amount of evidence not just from recently released VENONA cables and the Mitrokhin Archives that prove McCarthy was right and underestimated the scale of communist penetration of all our institutions so the left can shut up, but Diana also brings together the corroborating evidence from hundreds of witnesses and scholars to arrive at an even more shocking big picture than the partially released Venona cables. As she put it “Above a certain level of infiltration by the other side, a group, a body, or an institution is no longer viably ‘ours’; it’s ‘theirs.’ I believe the infiltration of the United States soared past that danger level to the point of de facto occupation, where national interest was no longer paramount but Soviet interests were.” If you want to understand the rolling coup d’etat by the deep communist-left state and the intelligence agencies against President Trump, read this book! It is perfectly narrated by the author. I cannot say enough good about her likely decade or more of research when I am typing this out on my iPhone in my car, being asked by Audible to review the book now.

Disheartening

My distrust of my own government began with the Iraq war when we were assured by our "intelligence" community that Hussein harbored WMD. After toppling the terrorist government, we waited anxiously week after week, month after month, as we were told our military were searching every inch of desert. In the end, no WMD. We were lied to. Or worse, our "intelligence" community is the laughing stock of the world.

This book explains what's really going on and things like how the director of CIA Brennan could have voted for a communist candidate in the 70s.

It took most of 455 pages to get me to realize we actually did lose WWII, but at least now I feel like I have broken free from the illusion. We need a reality revolution.

Required Reading

This book sheds light on many otherwise puzzling dynamics of our current time. A must read- certainly for every American and for everyone.

Challenging, but excellent...

What a book! As someone who grew up during the last years of cold war, this book is pretty challenging to almost all of my knowledge about world war 2, cold war and post 1989 era in my country. There is a lot of answers to questions, I was asking for the last 30 years. This book definitely proves the necessity for history revision. Highly recommended!

Should be required reading for all

Shocked by the facts in this book. My parents always believed FDR was the savior of the free world and come to know, from this book, he was a complete dupe of a now proven, communist plant in his own administration, Harry L. Hopkins. Joe McCarthy was complete accurate to get really crazy about the enormous infiltration into every facet of elite levels, by the communists. We are now truly reaping the whirlwind they sowed in the early 20th century. Let us join together to defeat this foe NOW, before it's truly too late and we find all true patriots in soviet style gulags.
