The Communist by Paul Kengor Book Summary

“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, 1947

In 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.

Aided by access to explosive declassified FBI files, Soviet archives, and Davis’s original newspaper columns, Paul Kengor explores how Obama sought out Davis and how Davis found in Obama an impressionable young man, one susceptible to Davis’s worldview that opposed American policy and traditional values while praising communist regimes. Kengor sees remnants of this worldview in Obama’s early life and even, ultimately, his presidency.

Is Obama working to fulfill the dreams of Frank Marshall Davis? That question has been impossible to answer, since Davis’s writings and relationship with Obama have either been deliberately obscured or dismissed as irrelevant. With Paul Kengor’s The Communist, Americans can finally weigh the evidence and decide for themselves.

Fabulous. Democrats need to read this book and take their heads out of sand

Insanity.. But go ahead and buy it, so you can sell it for a nickel at your next garage sale. People have to get over the fact that the modern Democrats are just to the left of George H.W. Bush.

The Communist. Excellent book! Very well researched and informative. I checked resources for accuracy. I was impressed with accuracy and connections between Obama and Frank. Didn't realize Communist ideas were so prevalent in American politics. This book needs to be read by every American.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! There are people out there stupid enough to actually believe the garbage in this book! How hilarious is that? They're mothers must have drank nothing but bleach while they were pregnant with them!

Amazingly Correct. This book is extremely political and cracked the case for most. I loved it and I read a chapter every day.

Eye Opener. This is a real eye opener! After reading this informative book you will understand why we have been seeing radical decisions coming out of the current Obama, Jarret, Alexerod administration. Every American that cares bout the future of the United States of America should read this book before they vote in November. Those that don't know the past suffer the effects of that ignorance. Wake up America!

Poorly sourced. This is a very poorly written book.
