National Review Online has an important book review:
The long list of apologists for Stalin’s terror — who denied its very existence — included the Asian scholar Owen Lattimore, Vice President Henry A. Wallace, the Communist baritone Paul Robeson, and the New York Times Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Walter Duranty. All of them did their part to hide the truth and paint a false picture of a benign Stalin who was America’s best friend. Tzouliadis devastatingly portrays the harm they did, and their moral culpability in the crimes of Stalinism.

The American media are just as guilty today for hiding the associations of Obama from the public. His first job after Harvard Law School was working for a project, with William Ayres, to radicalize the Chicago schools. Ayres bombed the Pentagon, a judge's home, and many other places. Obama began his political career in Illinois, at function hosted at Ayres' home. Ayres' wife is also a known domestic terrorist. Both live in comfort and security today.
I spoke with a teacher today who knew nothing about this.
