The authors conclusions are threefold: 1) Communist penetration in the American government in the WWII-era and early Cold War was deep and extensive, involving many hundreds of suspects; 2) the infiltrators wielded important leverage on U.S. foreign policy in that period; and 3) pro-Soviet penetration and the resulting policy damage occurred because Soviet agents preyed on the credulity of officials who were willfully ignorant of Communist methods. The net effect of these converging factors was a series of free-world retreats in the face of Marxist conquests across Europe, Indochina, Latin American states, and African nations.
The lessons of this highly readable and concise history are well worth taking to heart today, not merely as an historical study, but as a reflection of the subversive infiltration and influence of the Muslim Brotherhood on our current administration.

The OSTAPO (via IRS) also targeted Jewish groups.

The apostrophe has almost disappeared in today’s texting culture.

It is well known now from the Venona intercepts that the US government was penetrated at the highest levels. Alger Hiss was guilty.
That said, I think the conclusion that a more skeptical policy toward Stalin would have changed things in Eastern Europe or China is wrong. Unless the US and UK were willing to go to war against Stalin there was nothing we could do to stop the installment of communist governments in countries under Red Army occupation. The US successfully stopped the installation of communist governments in places outside Red Army control, like Greece, Italy and France.
Stalin had little to do with China going red. The very corrupt Kuomintang pretty much lost China by itself despite US support.
Roosevelt was very naive about "Uncle Joe" but bear in mind he threw Henry Wallace off the ticket and replaced him with Harry Truman. True, this was for domestic political purposes, but the far left Wallace almost certainly would not have organized NATO and fought the Cold War.

One of the authors, Herb Romerstein, died just recently (7 May).
His papers were recently acquired by the Hoover Institution. He was the greatest authority on penetration of the US Govt by communist spies. He had inside experience, having been a former communist himself.

Thank you. It’s a relief to see that I’m not the only one who is bothered by the constant misuse of the apostrophe. If there exists in microcosm a condemnation of our public schools, then the inability to pluralize a noun is it.

Wow! Was a I surprised by the article! I could have sworn every minion and peon the Progressives have planted in this government since LBJ was going to be named. Should have realized that an article could not do the job that it would take book to do.

What folks really need to think about is their legacy.
How much control did these infiltrators have over government policy? Over appointments and hiring? Personally, I think the US State Department is inherently anti-America because of the legacy of Soviet Agents. They hired folks with anti-American beliefs and internationalist sympathies - didn’t even have to hire other agents to make sure their damage continued.

The apostrophe has almost disappeared in todays texting culture. There are always plenty of extras available in the daily newspapers and on storefront signs and billboards throughout the naton.

In a 1952 article, Wallace admitted being duped by communists and turned into somewhat of an anti-communist. He even supported the Allies during the Korean War.
To: driftless2
Nice to know Wallace eventually figured things out, albeit rather late.
To: humblegunner
Yesterday: Communists infiltrating the US government. Today: Islamists infiltrating the US government. So what's new?
