Useful Idiots and the West's Communist Sympathizers
Thomas Lowell critiques Mona Charen's book Useful Idiots, tracing Western liberal pundits and leaders who excused or favored communist regimes from Castro to Mao. He argues these so called useful idiots helped legitimize oppression while disguising anti American sentiment as principled detachment. Lowell notes Charen cites many names and historical episodes to illustrate pattern and consequences.
