Query: rabid anti-communist

It would have been a valuable history if the author had been more objective. Knowing a little about communist influence and tactics is essential to be able to read between the lines of the author's anti-communism and his resort to one sided propaganda. If you can sort out the facts from the unfortunate anti-communist babel it is a helpful book. For every criticism of the Communist it is easy to point out the exact kind of tactic used by the supporters of the anti-communists on every issue. I am no sympathizer with Communist tactics as Stalin ruined any chance of the United States having a left-wing party to counteract American imperialism. If the author had just stuck to the facts instead of editorializing after all most every sentence it would not have become so tiresome a book to read.
