Kengor shows not only how such dupes contributed to history's most destructive ideology--Communism, which claimed at least 100 million lives--but also why they are so relevant to today's politics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDupes \u003c\/i\u003ereveals: - Shocking reports on how Senator Ted Kennedy secretly approached the Soviet leadership to undermine not one but two American presidents - Stunning new evidence that Frank Marshall Davis--mentor to a young Barack Obama--had extensive Communist ties and demonized Democrats - Jimmy Carter's woeful record dealing with America's two chief foes of the past century, Communism and Islamism - Today's dupes, including the congressmen whose overseas anti-American propaganda trip was allegedly financed by foreign intelligence - How '60s Marxist radicals--Tom Hayden, Mark Rudd, Jane Fonda, Jeff Jones, Bill Ayers, and more--have suddenly reemerged as \"progressives for Obama\" - How Franklin Roosevelt was duped by \"Uncle Joe\" Stalin--and by a top adviser who may have been a Soviet agent--despite clear warnings from fellow Democrats - How John Kerry's accusations that American soldiers committed war crimes in Vietnam may have been the product of Soviet disinformation - The many Hollywood stars who were duped, including Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Katharine Hepburn, Gene Kelly--and even Ronald Reagan - Soviet records that demonstrate beyond doubt the Communists' expansionist aims and their targeting of American liberals, especially academics and the Religious Left - How liberals still defend the same Communists who trashed Democratic icons like Woodrow Wilson, FDR, Harry Truman, and JFK--and still attack the anti-Communists who tried to spare them from manipulation - Details on many other dupes (and dupers), including Arthur Miller, Dr. Benjamin Spock, John Dewey, H. G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, Lillian Hellman, Howard Zinn, Walter Cronkite, and Helen Thomas - A new chapter on the War on Terror. Packed with stunning revelations, Dupes shows in frightening detail how U.S. adversaries exploit the American home front.
