A Curtain of Ignorance; China: how America is Deceived

Handling marks to the edges of the text block, rubbing and chipping at all of the corners of the dust jacket. Digital image available upon request. In this book, the author exposes the errors and falls predictions which, he maintains, have been given to the American people and has seriously distorted their picture of Communist China. Most of the people in the United States -- the majority under 30 -- if they have relied on our press for their information about China, can have come to only one conclusion: that China's backwardness, her shortage of food, and what is thought of as the prevailing misery of her people, are due to the Communist; that during the civil war in China evil men throughout the good men; and that those are good men were defeated and are now in exile, it is America's moral obligation to support them against the ruthless and aggressive tyrants who have reduced the Chinese masses to unspeakable indignities and suffering. -- from the foreword History Reasonable

"The Salem persecution occurred over so short a period of time, and is so well documented, that it reveals the development of a witchhunt rather clearly. In a climate of fear and intolerance, accusations by other stable individuals lead to interested parties seizing the chance to further their agendas and target their enemies.". Page XVI The author regards the Salem witch hunt as the first wave, McCarthyism, a second wave of persecution, "recovered memories" the third wave, and offers that since September 11, 2001 the fear of terrorism has produced an upsurge of unprovoked attacks on law-abiding Muslims, and allows for the possibility of a witchhunt.
