Description:The Cossacks, and more than a million Russians, fought against Communism during World War II, and they still hate Communism today. But they are not pro-American or pro-West. While researching for material for the writing of The East Came West, Mr. Huxley-Blythe discovered why these people do not trust the United States or Great Britain. When the war in Europe ended, millions of Russian men, women, and children sought sanctuary and freedom in the West. They met terror face to face. They were physically beaten into submission and then shipped like cattle back to the U.S.S.R. to face Stalin’s executioners or to serve long sentences in concentration camps.The author claims that this brutal appeasement policy which was contrary to recognized international law, was initiated and carried out by the Allied Supreme Commander, General Dwight Eisenhower. From survivors Mr. Huxley-Blythe obtained the details of the Cossacks’ fight for freedom from 1941 to 1945, and from them he learned the method used by the British to betray them. Former members of the "Russian Liberation Army” and refugees told him of the treatment they had received from United States troops who were ordered forcibly to extradite them back into the hands of merciless Kremlin leaders. The official record of this appeasement policy, "Operation Keelhaul,” is still classified as "Top Secret” by Washington.The last chapters of The East Came West show how current United States foreign policy makes the anti-Communist Russians regard America as equally as great a menace to them as Red domination.
