Dupes

How America's Adversaries Have Manipulated Progressives for a Century

By: Paul Kengor

Narrated by: Buck Groat

In this startling, intensively researched book, best-selling historian Paul Kengor shines light on a deeply troubling aspect of American history: the prominent role of the "dupe". From the Bolshevik Revolution through the Cold War and right up to the present, many progressives have unwittingly aided some of America's most dangerous opponents.

Based on never-before-published FBI files, Soviet archives, and other primary sources, Dupes reveals:

• Shocking reports on how Senator Ted Kennedy secretly approached the Soviet leadership to undermine not one but two American presidents
• Stunning new evidence that Frank Marshall Davis - mentor to a young Barack Obama - had extensive Communist ties and demonized Democrats
• Jimmy Carter's woeful record dealing with America's two chief foes of the past century, Communism and Islamism
• Today's dupes, including the congressmen whose overseas anti-American propaganda trip was allegedly financed by foreign intelligence
• How Franklin Roosevelt was duped by "Uncle Joe" Stalin - and by a top adviser who may have been a Soviet agent - despite clear warnings from fellow Democrats
• How John Kerry's accusations that American soldiers committed war crimes in Vietnam may have been the product of Soviet disinformation
• The many Hollywood stars who were duped, including Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Katharine Hepburn, Gene Kelly - and even Ronald Reagan

Outstanding research

So obviously not written by some punk in a basement doing Internet research. Another outstanding book by Paul Kengor!

Communism fails despite much help from the left

An outstanding and detailed history of Communism and everyone connected to it here in the U.S., including modern, liberals who continue to keep it alive. Very relevant with the recent resurgence of Communism wearing the masks of Antifa and Black Lives Matter.

Are You a Useful Idiot?

Marxists, Socialists, Communists, and communists have used propaganda to influence liberal thinking individuals for decades. Paul Kengor explains how through this well-documented work. I recommend you read or listen to this book, and then ask yourself, Have I been duped?

love the book hate the narration

I would not buy any book narrated by this person. They read so unnaturally that I cringe every time I listen to it. I tried multiple times but i can listen to this person read. I'd like my money back or a different narrator.

Thoughtout our history in this country

We all been dupes or feel like idiots. We are made mistakes in life. as we try to glude thru life.
