Where I Was Wrong


Context

Wallace had been a supporter of Russia throughout WWII and thought that on balance the Russian Revolution was a constructive historical event. He was very naive naïve the excess of Stalin and thought that the reports of his atrocities and excesses were propaganda. However, when he found out the truth about Stalinist Russia, he became an anti-Communist, and wrote this book. He also supported Dwight D. Eisenhower for President which added to some of the radical right wing distrust of Eisenhower.
