THE VENONA SECRETS: EXPOSING SOVIET ESPIONAGE AND AMERICA'S TRAITORS BY HERBERT ROMERSTEIN AND ERIC BREINDEL BY REGNERY PUBLISHING, 2000
 
"In 1995 the Venona documents - secret Soviet cable traffic from the 1940's that the United States intercepted and eventually decrypted - finally became available to American historians... Included in The Venona Secrets are the details of the spying activities that reached from Harry Hopkins in Frank Roosevelt's White House to Alger Hiss in the State Department to Harry Dexter White in the Treasury....
 
"New information that links Albert Einstein to Soviet intelligence and conclusive evidence showing that J. Robert Oppenheimer gave Moscow our atomic secrets.... How the Venona documents confirm the controversial revelations made in the 1940's by former Soviet agents Whittaker Chambers & Eliz. Bentley..   (From the book cover:)
Preface:
    It was obvious that the earlier view of the U.S. government - that American Communism because of their loyalty to the Soviet Union, might spy on their own government - was true, but it did not go far enough, Venona, together  with our other sources, made it clear, that American communists with access to sensitive information were expected by the Party to turn it over to the Soviets. ... Earl Browder head of the American Communist Party was deeply involved in recruiting Party members and vetting them for espionage....
 
    What surprised us was the Venona code name for Jews - "Rats." ... Why? Because saw European Jews who supported democracies as an impediment to Soviet control in Eastern and Central Europe. Both as Americans and as Jews, we concluded that the Soviet Union and its intelligence operations were enemies of our freedom...
 
    But was it correct to view the Soviet Union as the "focus of evil" in the postwar world? (This concept, first advanced in the early 1950's by Time magazine editor and Alger Hiss accuser Whittaker Chambers, resurfaced in the speeches of President Ronald Reagan some three decades later.) Was it valid to see Soviet Communism as an ideology no less pernicious than Nazism...
 
    The Communist Party USA leadership and its rank and file were composed of Americans who willingly gave up their primary allegiance to a foreign power.... A Central goal of this book is to correct the convential wisdom regarding American Communism - to challenge the falsehood inherent in the claim that Party members were left-wing heretics rather than disloyal conspirators. For Communists, true patriotism meant helping to make the world a better place by advancing the interests of the Soviet Union.
 
    Communist Party members managed to secure footholds in highly sensitive areas of American life. This was especially true during the New Deal years and the subsequent wartime U.S. Soviet alliance...
In fact, American scholars were the first to note that even before Hitler, Lenin and Stalin made terror an instrument of state policy by using concentration camps, slave labor, man-made famines, and mass murder to realize political and economic goals.... Nazis like the  Communists used "peace" as a slogan to disarm their enemies....
 
    It is clear that Moscow's agents in the U.S. helped prevent an earlier Nazi surrender to the Anglo-Americans - the prospect of which haunted the USSR throughout the war.... Assisted Secretary of the Treasury, Harry Dexter White played a key role in this Soviet endeavor.... xv

P.S. Today is our National Day of Prayer. Pray for the conversion of America. Recall, for decades, we prayed for the conversion of Communist Russia. And the miracle of communist collapse occurred in Russia without violence. I believe in miracles. The election of Donald Trump was a miracle. The communist/socialist ideology is alien to America. Sadly, we have professors on our campuses who indoctrinate our students to economic and religious stupidity? Who are they?
