Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Focusing on what they call lying about spying the authors reveal how revisionist scholars have ignored or distorted documents from Russian archives that point to espionage links between Moscow and the CPUSA.

Download Description:
John Haynes and Harvey Klehr were the first U.S. historians who used the newly opened archives of the former Soviet Union to examine the history of American communism. In Denial is the record of what they ­discovered. The authors focus on what they call "lying about spying." Haynes and Klehr examine the ways in which revisionist scholars have ignored or distorted the new archival evidence about espionage links between Moscow and the CPUSA. They analyze the mythology that continues to suggest, against all evidence, that Alger Hiss, Julius Rosenberg, Harry Dexter White, Lauchlin Currie and others who betrayed the United States were more sinned against than sinners. In the end, Haynes and Klehr set the record straight about the spies among us.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - In Denial: Historians, Communism, and Espionage
Thanks to historians John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr, we now know that Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal was a hotbed for hundred of spies for the Soviet Union during the 1930s and 1940s.

The Communist Party of the United States was a ripe recruiting ground for espionage, from the top leadership cadre down to the rank and file Party membership.

Courageous Americans who broke with the Party, such as former CPUSA General Secretary Benjamin Gitlow, author of The Whole ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Truth seeps into academic circles at last
This is a MUST read for anyone interested in foreign affairs, history, economics, or Communism. It flies way over the heads of the politically correct crowd, and shows the real, and documented, lay of the land.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Long Awaited Critique Of The Leftist Propaganda Machine
After many years and many books by Klehr and others documenting the irrefutable - that communism (especially Soviet communism) was a world-wide organized enemy of democratic societies, Klehr and Haynes go after the only viably remaining pro communist force in America - the apologists in academia. If more people were exposed to the illogic and immorality of goofs such as Eric Foner, Noam Chomskey and THOUSANDS of others entrenched in universities they could finally be relegated to the dust bin of history ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Extremely Important Account of Liberal Historical Bias
A key principle of psychoanalytic theory is that wish distorts perception and leads to denial, self deception, and deceit. The authors of In Denial give many examples with detailed quotations which illustrate how Liberal/Socialist bias has blinded many historians to the realities of Communist Russia, Joseph Stalin, Russian espionage activities against America, and the role of the American Communist party in seeking to destroy America from before WWII to the present. All manner of sickening distortions are ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - In Denial,
In Denial covers a topic often ignored or down played by media and academia. Here the authors attack the premises, methods, and even question the use of ideology over facts by certain historians and professors. And the authors do name names.

From a historical standpoint there is a great deal of information concerning the CPUSA (Communist Party United States of America); in particular, the authors show how the initially the Comintern ( "the Soviet agency that guided foreign Communist parties from ... Read More
