ADVANCE PRAISE

“Disinformation is a history of a still-hidden part of the Cold War—the part
hidden as deeply as the KGB’s moles in Western intelligence services—which
has to be studied to truly understand how communism sought to subvert
everything in its path. Like Whittaker Chambers’ Witness, any study of the
Cold War without Disinformation would be profoundly incomplete.”
—JED BABBIN, former deputy undersecretary of defense and author
of In the Words of Our Enemies and Inside the Asylum: How the U.N. and Old
Europe Are Worse Than You Think

“Challenging false histories and subtle slanders, Pacepa and Rychlak take us
on a journey through the Empire of Disinformation. Here we learn the theory
and practice of the Big Lie deployed against Christianity—against popes and
bishops. We learn how the Kremlin, even after the collapse of Communism,
continues its war against the West; we learn how dezinformatsiya is used to
inspire a deep hatred of the Jews in order to mobilize Islam as a battering
ram against Israel and America—to the benefit of Russia. If you want to
understand the forces at work behind the decline of Christianity and the rise
of militant Islam, you must read this book.”

—JEFFREY NYQUIST, author Origins of the Fourth World War, columnist,
and radio talk show host on WIBG (Ocean City, NJ)

“As a Jew growing up in New York, I hated even hearing Pope Pius XII’s
name. But after seven years of investigating and 46,000 pages of pertinent
documents collected, I came to the startling discovery that Pius XII was
revered and praised as a hero by all Jews during, and just after, the war. If
you want to know how 1 billion people were tricked into hating him, read
this book by General Ion Mihai Pacepa and Professor Ron Rychlak about
the Kremlin’s still-secret dezinformatsiya. That immense machinery accom-
plished the worst character assassination of the twentieth century, and caused
great strain between Jews and Catholics. But let me warn you: this book is
scary! When you read it, you will discover how you were maneuvered like
a chess piece to achieve a specific goal. You will also learn that the dezinfor-
matsiya enterprise is still dividing the Judeo-Christian world with deadly
international consequences.”

—GARY KRUPP, chairman of Pave the Way Foundation, dedicated to
reconciling relations among the world’s religions

“Written by two foremost experts, this book is an eye-opening, demystifying
work of political and historical archeology, a passionate and captivating
endeavor to highlight the communist techniques of cynical deception, vicious
plots, and perversely skillful concoction of propaganda legends masquerading
as historical evidence. The authors display impressive erudition and unique
insights into the deep secrets of the Soviet and post-Soviet disinformation
machine. As a former highest-level intelligence officer within the Soviet Bloc
who broke with the system for moral reasons and courageously exposed its
terrorist underpinnings, Ion Mihai Pacepa is a formidable witness to and a
respected analyst of the communist intrigues, schemes, and manipulations.”

—VLADIMIR TISMĂNEANU, author of Stalinism for All Seasons:
A Political History of Romanian Communism, director of the University of
Maryland’s Center for the Study of Post-Communist Societies, and president
of Romania’s Institute for the Investigation of Communist Crimes
