in the Communist Party. He was assigned
by Stalin’s agents in the United States to work
among young people and help bring about a
bloody red revolution.

He fought the church.
He fought the American way of life.

Christian leaders.

He worked wit Red plotters from New York
and Hollywood.

While a communist, he was invited by
Eleanor Roosevelt to be a guest at the

This book tells the inside story of a man who,
in repentance, left Josef Stalin to serve Jesus
Christ.

Very rare collectible from a person uniquely
qualified to speak on the Stalin regime.
