Hardcover. Condition: Good. 2nd Edition. I admire Russia for wiping out an economic system which permitted a handful of rich to exploit and beat gold from the millions of plain people. . . . As one who believes in freedom and democracy for all, I honor the Red nation. -FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS, 1947In his memoir, Barack Obama omits the full name of his mentor, simply calling him Frank. Now, the truth is out: Never has a figure as deeply troubling and controversial as Frank Marshall Davis had such an impact on the development of an American president.Although other radical influences on Obama, from Jeremiah Wright to Bill Ayers, have been scrutinized, the public knows little about Davis, a card-carrying member of the Communist Party USA, cited by the Associated Press as an important influence on Obama, one whom he looked to not merely for advice on living but as a father figure.While the Left has willingly dismissed Davis (with good reason), here are the indisputable, eye-opening facts: Frank Marshall Davis was a pro-Soviet, pro-Red China communist. His Communist Party USA card number, revealed in FBI files, was CP #47544. He was a prototype of the loyal Soviet patriot, so radical that the FBI placed him on the federal governments Security Index. In the early 1950s, Davis opposed U.S. attempts to slow Stalin and Mao. He favored Red Army takeovers of Central and Eastern Europe, and communist control in Korea and Vietnam. Dutifully serving the cause, he edited and wrote for communist newspapers in both Chicago and Honolulu, courting contributors who were Soviet agents. In the 1970s, amid this dangerous political theater, Frank Marshall Davis came into Barack Obamas life.Aided by access to explosive declassified FBI files, Soviet archives, and Daviss original newspaper columns, Paul Kengor explores how Obama sought out Davis and how Davis found in Obama an impressionable young man, one susceptible to Daviss worldview that opposed American policy and traditional values while praising communist regimes. Kengor sees remnants of this worldview in Obamas early life and even, ultimately, his presidency.Kengor charts with definitive accuracy the progression of Daviss communist ideas from Chicago to Hawaii. He explores how certain elements of the Obama administrations agenda reflect Daviss columns advocating wealth redistribution, government stimulus for public works projects, taxpayer-funding of universal health care, and nationalizing General Motors. Daviss writings excoriated the tentacles of big business, blasted Wall Street and greedy millionaires, lambasted GOP tax cuts that spare the rich, attacked excess profits and oil companies, and perceived the Catholic Church as an obstacle to his vision for the state-all the while echoing Daviss often repeated mantra for transformational and fundamental change.And yet, The Communist is not unsympathetic to Davis, revealing him as something of a victim, an African- American who suffered devastating racial persecution in the Jim Crow era, steering this justly angered young man on a misguided political track. That Davis supported violent and heartless communist regimes over his own country is impossible to defend. That he was a source of inspiration to President Barack Obama is impossible to ignore.Is Obama working to fulfill the dreams of Frank Marshall Davis? That question has been impossible to answer, since Daviss writings and relationship with Obama have either been deliberately obscured or dismissed as irrelevant. With Paul Kengors The Communist, Americans can finally weigh the evidence and decide for themselves.***There were hundreds of thousands of American communists like Frank who agitated throughout the twentieth century. They chose the wrong side of history, a horrendously bloody side that left a wake of more than 100 million corpses from the streets of the Bolshevik Revolution to the base of the Berlin Wall-double the combined dead of the centurys two world wars. And they.
