Excerpt from Diana West's book, "American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on Our Nation’s Character".

FDR — one of the great villains in American history.

Possibly the worst.

[TBP]

Excellent analysis. And in the end, we defeated them anyway — only to see a Communist occupation of our own White House.

Appears to be strikingly similar to what Obama is trying to do with Iran.

[Lurking Libertarian]

We would ultimately have had to align with Stalin anyway, or else World War II would ended in victory for Hitler.

We could “unrecognize” Russia, I guess ... :-) ...

AND, while we are at that ... we should also “unrecognize” Red China, too! Nixon did a really bad thing here!

America's Dictator in the Age of Dictators.

so WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE!

its water under the bridge, its a moot point, there is nothing to be done about it....

I am so tired of people "discovering" past wrongs or even present wrongs and do nothing physical about it....

like our pubs...we can't stop immigration, nor the IRS, nor obamanocare, nor VA scandals, nor the helping of ISIS and other moslem terrorists...just like the white kid never fights back....just sits there and takes it....

One day maybe,mwe’ll learn all of the truth. Maybe too late.

[Mamzelle]

Simple: Democrats LOVE DEATH.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Stunning quote.

Transformation or milepost? It certainly was a marker, but was it a cause?

[safeasthebanks]

One of the most insightful/important analysis to show up on FR in a long time, IMHO. God, I hate what the left has done to this country.

Rereading American Betrayal: How FDR's Soviet Recognition Changed the USA Beyond Recognition

Thanks, KC_Lion. .

[zeestephen]

Wow, terrific post.

Thanks for putting this up.

It’s always exciting to discover that someone else has clearly expressed things you have thought about for decades.

Now, I have a question for the many part time World War II historians on this thread who, like me, who are drawn to books like this.

What would have happened in Europe after June 1941 if the USA had not supported the Soviet Union?

Many people do not realize the truly massive scale of military supplies we sent.

I think the USSR would have collapsed, or, at the very least, Stalin would have had to surrender everything west of the Volga.

How would we have fought the war in Europe if Hitler had been comfortably ensconced in western Russia without a serious military threat on that front?
