Mr. Morris Kominsky has written a well researched and documented text on the willingness of many right wing Americans to distort and falsify history. His main interest is in refuting any number of hoaxes and frauds perpetrated in the 1950s and 1960s against communism. His obvious disdain for the American political right, and his credulity regarding the intentions and actions of twentieth century Soviet and Chinese regimes should not be allowed to detract from the results of his solid researches. Although an interesting study, in the light of current history much of his work is more of academic interest than anything else. While uncovering a litany of falsehoods though, he has also revealed and refuted a number of attacks on Freemasonry and Judaism.
A preface notes that this is the first of a two-volume study, the second entitled America Faces Disaster. This does not appear to have been published.
