Useful Idiots, by Mona Charen

Useful Idiots: How Liberals Got It Wrong in the Cold War and Still Blame America First, by Mona Charen. A first rate recapitulation of how the left railed and whined about conservative policies toward the communists before the fall of the Berlin wall. Few remember, and the left wishes all would forget their vitriolic rhetoric that justified murder and mayhem by leftist regimes from Cambodia and China to the Soviet Union. The American left includes prominent politicians, actors and writers, who all pretend to have been on the side that triumphed even as they continue to undermine its tenets. This book is an eye-opener.
