Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Ron Ridenour's book, The Russian Peace Threat: Pentagon on Alert, a true historical page-turner, is destined to endure and inform future readers, writers and researchers about both what has been reported-mainly malicious propaganda-and what truly took place in the one hundred years from the 1917 Russian Revolution until the eruption of the distinct harbingers of the collapse of the US empire in the early twenty-first century. Events often just seem to happen, caught up in the swirl of history. But still, we try to interpret them and to understand. And then, in many cases, take a stand for or against. Understanding is like discovering a new world, like converting to a new faith. Revolt invades your life and everything is different from what it once was. Ridenour's book helps us along the way to first remembering the historical facts so that we can then understand. His new work documents clearly facts about the early years of the Soviet Union's relations with the West, its difficult steps toward socio-political maturity and Communism, and its enormous sacrifices along the way: its defeat of Western intervention during the revolutionary and civil war period; its regulation of state economic planning and the reforms required for the industrialization of the nation; its defeat of the German Nazi military juggernaut at the gates of Russia's major cities and the coup de grace in the ferocious battle in Stalingrad, defeating German invaders and crushing Nazi Germany before the USA even entered the war; and finally the arduous salvation of Russia after the collapse of the USSR under US post-WWII economic firepower and the most treacherous anti-Russian policies since the early 1900s. Those Western policies continue to determine US-Russian relations today. Throughout this long work Ridenour recalls and clarifies diverse significant historical details, obscured by time and by Western propaganda, facts that are so easily forgotten or that were never learned: such ignored truths as the importance of the USSR in the defeat of Japan in WWII and the timing of the US use of the atomic bomb in Japan. Not many people are aware of the extent of the destruction of many Japanese cities which the author details here. He points out that the Soviet Union kept its word to help the United States by its intervention against Japan, the decisive reason why Japan was defeated even before the atomic bombs fell. A stunning but little known fact is that in response to the Russians' sacrifice the Anglo-American leaders-first Churchill and later Truman- were hatching Operation Unthinkable and Operation Pincher to launch a surprise war against Soviet forces in Europe. These military plots included the potential use of nuclear bombs. This is a book that no well-informed Western reader should be without, especially those inhabiting the homeland of the new empire, the dangerously brainwashed United States.

Wraps. Molto, Eduardo (Cover design) (illustrator). 174 p. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliiography From KeyWIki: "Ron Ridenour is a U.S. born, Denmark based socialist. Ron Ridenour was born in the devil's own country, he rejected the American Dream and became a solidarity and revolutionary activist and writer nearly half-a-century ago. Ridenour has worked as a journalist-editor-author-translator for three decades. He worked for Cuba's Editorial José Martí and Prensa Latina for eight years, and has published five books about Cuba, as well as Yankee Sandinistas. Born in the devil s own country of a WASP military career father, I sought the American Dream until I entered the Air Force, in 1956, to fight the commies. Here, I witnessed approved segregated barracks in the Yankee base it established in Japan, and imposition of racism in Japanese establishments. I protested and was tortured by my white compatriots. This, and the fact that we had orders to shoot down any Soviet aircraft over our territory in Japan which never appeared while we flew spy planes over the Soviet Union daily, led me to question American morality. The first time I exercised my democratic right to demonstrate was in Los Angeles, where I protested with others the Yankee invasion of Cuba, at the Bay of Pigs. Cuba s revolution, and my hate for racism, led me to become a radical then a revolutionary. Ridenour worked closely with Dorothy Healey in 1960s California and was inspired to join the Communist Party USA. Dorothy was my first and most important mentor. More than anyone she brought me into the left movement for justice and equality. I met her following my first demonstration: on April 19, 1961, in front of the U.S. federal building in Los Angeles during the U.S. invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs. In all the many discussions we had in her little home in central L.A. she never once asked me to join the Communist Party. But I did in 1964. I left following the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. Dorothy remained a sane critic and supporter for a few more years. Never did I consider Dorothy less than a comrade, a friend, a good listener and thus an excellent teacher. During the early 1960s, Ridenour was a college student and joined the budding student movement, the civil rights movement (Mississippi Freedom Summer 1964), the anti-Vietnam war movement, and supported liberation movements by blacks, browns, native Americans, and women, and revolutionary movements throughout Latin American and Africa. In the mid-70s, the Southeast Asians, aided by international solidarity movements, won its sovereignty. Soon thereafter, I obtained 1, 000 censored pages of dossiers various National Security Council intelligence agencies had on me. I began working as a reporter in 1967. I was fired from three dailies for failing to self-censor my reportage and for union organizing efforts, as well as support for the Black Panthers. FBI, CIA, Los Angeles Police Department's red squad all tailed and harrassed me, even to the point of forging tax return papers in an attempt to show the left and anti-war movement that I was one of their many spies. During the 1960s and 70s, Ridenour was jailed a dozen times, once for half-a-year, and spent a week in a Costa Rica prison for trying to travel to Cuba during the October 1962 missile crisis. In 1980, he moved to Denmark. Between 1982 and 1996, he traveled to and lived for several years in Nicaragua and Cuba, where he translated, wrote articles and edited copy. In Denmark, besides journalism, Ridenour has worked in ecological agricultural, lecturing in schools, social work with refugees, painting houses and other work." Good.
