Length: 20 hrs and 41 mins

Publisher's summary

"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.

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.

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.

The more I learn the more I despise

Knowing how many people died for the tricks of Communism, the laziness and shortsightedness of politicians makes me sick.
What's worse is when you try to explain how bad it is. Even worse yet is that the media and general public is so blissfully complicit in their willful ignorance.
Every time I see a kid in a Che shirt or anyone who is a communist or even a socialist.. I was to throw up.
These people spit on the graves of great Americans and the founding fathers of this nation.
FDR, is despicable... we cannot let this continue. Thanks to Diana West for this great read and guide to the reality of the time surrounding WWII and today.

The story they wish you never heard.

It's a good book, grew up hearing the praises of FDR seems like he was dooped at best a globalist at worst. Islam and China could be making the same play. Listen to it make up your own mind.

The truth hurts

She has done a great job on this one! This should be a required textbook in every high school in the United States.

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.
