THE BROUHAHA OVER RADOSH’S NASTY REVIEW, AND THE SHABBY TREATMENT OF MARK TAPSON AND DIANA WEST OVER AT FRONTPAGE, APPARENTLY HAS MADE MR. RADOSH WRITE THIS TRASH TO DEFEND HIS ATTACK AND DESIRE TO DEFAME DIANA WEST AND DESTROY HER BOOK. HIS BOAST OF A “TAKE DOWN” OF THE BOOK IS BRAGGADOCIO…THE ONLY THING RON RADOSH TOOK DOWN IS HIS OWN PANTS…..AND INCIDENTALLY, TODAY FP REPRINTED THIS SCREED WITH THE TITLE “DOWN THE CRACKPOT ALLEY”….RSK

Today, my review of Diana West’s new book, American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on Our Nation’s Character [1], has been posted at FrontPageMagazine [2], the website of the David Horowitz Freedom Center. I urge PJM readers to go and read it, and to consider the arguments I make about why I find her book to be a betrayal, but not the kind she charges existed in our past. Indeed, what I argue in the review is that her book is actually a betrayal of serious and honest history, an ideologically bound argument that ignores real evidence, distorts our past, and creates a mythical counter-narrative to understanding decisions made during WWII.

Here is my concluding paragraph:

Conspiratorial theories of history are easy to create once you are prepared to ignore the realities on the ground, or regard those who do take them into account as part of the conspiracy too. This is the path that Diana West has taken in her misconceived and misleading book. Why did the U.S. and Britain not prevent the totalitarian USSR from taking over Eastern Europe after it had defeated the totalitarian Nazis? It had nothing to do with the Rubik’s Cube of diplomatic and military considerations, a calculus that had to take into account the willingness of the American and British publics to continue to sacrifice and their soldiers to die. No, it was a conspiracy so immense, as West’s hero Joe McCarthy might have said, that it allowed Western policy to be dictated by a shadow army of Soviet agents. It is unfortunate that a number of conservatives who should know better have fallen for West’s fictions. It is even more depressing that her book perpetuates the dangerous one dimensional thinking of the Wisconsin Senator and his allies in the John Birch Society which have allowed anti anti-communism to have a field day in our intellectual culture.

Benghazi Scapegoat: ‘Innocence of Muslims’ Producer on Supervised Release from Prison:

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the man allegedly behind the film “Innocence of Muslims,” has been granted supervised release from a federal prison, according to the U.S. Justice Department.
