First printed in 1951. Reed gives a record of his travels in the United States. With unusual flair and uncanny prophetic insight, Reed takes us on a journey of historical and political side of America. So controversial was this book on Communism and Zionism that it sent the author into indefinite retirement and forced his publisher out of business.

5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent book,
By LQQker "Sam" (SoCal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Far and Wide (Paperback)
Douglas Reed is an eloquent writer. His keen insight about the world government that's been in the workings for 150 years is unmatched. In this book, reed expounds on the inner workings of our own American government and the controlling forced behind it. It's a frightening thought that our elected officials are just a façade for a devilish group that had usurped all branches of our government and are working behind the scene to bring this country under total control. This book was written in the 50's when things like this are just coming to the fore, now they are in their full glory. Read Reed's book and see the visionary man he truly was. Of course, it cost him his career after this book, but he was a true human being for exposing evil .....Dare to read it.I ALSO RECOMMEND THIS BOOK BY HIM: - CONTROVERSY OF ZION

Introduction to a Difficult Subject,
This review is from: Far and Wide (Paperback)
"Far And Wide" was written in 1951 by Douglas Reed, formerly a foreign correspondent to the London Times.The author approaches geopolitics in a rambling way, going back to the Civil War and commenting on sporadic events ranging from the Bolshevik revolution, World War II, the Communist takeover of China, the establishment of the state of Israel, and the Korea War. This arrangement would allow the reader to leisurely plod through the book, but then comes the daunting task of tying these events together in a coherent whole. Although the author makes many incisive comments, the average reader would be overwhelmed by the mental effort of linking super-capitalists with Zionism and Communism. This book does not fully explain that nexus; it is more of an encouragement for further study. There two noteworthy topics that the author covers in detail: the Hiss vs. Chambers controversy regarding communist infiltration, and the computation of the six million dead in the "Holocaust." Reed mentions wars are fought for purposes opposite to any cause publicly proclaimed, and he warns us to beware that, "The solution to all problems lies in the magic words, Emergency Powers." We can't say that we weren't warned. The author envisioned a future historian summarizing our times: "At the mid-twentieth century the forces conspiring, to enslave all the countries of the Christian West, especially the English-speaking ones, were so greatly in control of public information that the masses knew next to nothing of what went on and what impended. Public men had come to fear these inhibitors too much to tempt their wrath, and any who did risk that ire were defamed by so powerful a machine of the spoken and written word that even the masses, after lending an eager ear of hope, then dully turned their backs on the speakers and shunned them, thinking they must be evil after all. In that way they were brought again and again to pit themselves against each other, always in the name of "freedom, " for their own mutual destruction and enslavement..."

Excellent Inside Look,

This review is from: Far and Wide (Paperback)
This book gives the observations of a knowledgable reporter to the growing storm that was World War Two. It also shows his increasing disalusionment with the controlled media that employs him. Highly reccomended for history buffs.
