The Devil and Communism Series
Featuring Works by Paul Kengor, Steven Mosher, and Mary Nicholas · Published by TAN Books
Overview
The standard critiques of Communism focus almost exclusively on failed economics and political tyranny. But the true engine of Marxism is not found in an economic ledger—it is rooted in an ancient, ongoing warfare against God and human nature. The Devil and Communism Series brings together three definitive, terrifyingly thoroughly researched volumes that treat Communism for what it actually is: a spiritual pathogen designed to eradicate the divine image from the human soul. Tracing this "Long March" from its foundational satanic influences to its horrifying modern manifestation as a global killing machine and its structural subversion of American institutions, this three-part collection equips the faithful with the historical clarity and spiritual armor required to confront radical modern ideologies.
Titles Included in This Definitive Set:
1. The Devil and Karl Marx by Paul Kengor, PhD
A chilling deep dive into the spiritual genesis of Marxism, documenting Marx's personal obsession with destruction, his dark poetic admissions of a "soul chosen for Hell," and the early demonic architecture of his anti-theology.
2. The Devil and Communist China by Steven Mosher
A firsthand account of the "Chinese Communist Killing Machine." Mosher unmasks the terrifying merge of ancient totalitarian Legalism with modern Marxism, charting the regime's ongoing war against the Church and religious freedom from Chairman Mao to Secretary Xi.
3. The Devil and Bella Dodd by Mary Nicholas
The harrowing and inspiring true story of the high-ranking American Communist operative who engineered the infiltration of Western academia and Catholic seminaries, only to find extraordinary conversion and redemption under the guidance of Bishop Fulton Sheen.
- Unmask the False Prophecy: Learn why the Magisterium has consistently condemned atheistic communism as a "satanic scourge" that targets the domestic church and traditional family life.
- Understand Institutional Subversion: Gain documented insights into the specific training and tactics used by embedded agents to silently dismantle academia, labor unions, and religious hierarchies.
- Examine the "Culture of Death": See how the systemic rejection of a Creator leads inevitably to mass violence, institutionalized lies, and global totalitarian control.
- Witness the Power of Grace: Be fortified by the life-changing journey of Bella Dodd, proving that no soul is out of reach for Divine Mercy and the traditional Sacraments.
Intended Audience
Highly recommended for clergy, seminarians, parish catechists, and lay readers seeking a rigorous, Church-rooted analysis of modern socio-political phenomena. It is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand the spiritual warfare undergirding current cultural shifts and for those looking for a robust defense of religious liberty and human dignity.
FAQs
How do these books differ from secular political histories?
While heavily utilizing primary historical sources, letters, and legislative testimonies, this series addresses the deeper spiritual and theological realities that secular histories intentionally ignore.
Are there graphic themes discussed in these books?
Yes. To accurately portray the grim historical reality of totalist regimes, these books contain honest, detailed accounts of human rights violations, persecution, and forced labor that may require parental guidance for younger readers.
Why does the series focus on the personal lives of leaders like Marx and Mao?
As our Lord taught, "A tree is known by its fruit." By examining their letters, domestic abuse, and personal rebellions against God, the authors reveal that their political structures were merely extensions of their internal spiritual corruption.
