Excerpt from The Masks of CommunismToday, the United States is threatened by an enemy dedicated to its destruction. That enemy is Communism, whose leaders promise that in two generations or less they will bury the American way of life and the system it represents. There can be little doubt that the men who guide the Communist machine are not only convinced that this can be done, but they are determined that it will and must be done.It must be done because two rival systems (communist doctrine claims) cannot continue for long to exist side by side without one being conquered by the other. It will be done, they believe, because their basic philosophy of marxism-leninism teaches them that the American system has outlived its usefulness and the Communist sys tem represents the wave of the future.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
