How Darkness Fell

by R. A. Ellsworth

Hardcover, 1974

Brief description:

From the dust jacket:

Is it possible for the United States to destroy constitutional government and establish a socialist dictatorship? Are we contributing to the communist efforts to rule the world? The mistakes, blunders, wrong estimates, and poor management by our government since the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank and the graduated income tax in 1913 have brought this great nation to the brink
of disaster. The fallacious Keynes economics of deficit spending, the Fabian Socialist influence, no-win wars, the advocacy of retreat and surrender, ‘peace with convergence’ and the welfare state has brought Uncle Sam to his knees.

This unique novel is about a mythical figure, Frank Rodriguez, a West Point officer who turns communist under a strange chain of events, then defects back to freedom and tells all. Frank’s five classmates share his story and join him in a new vision of ‘Technocracy City,’ as a counter-utopia to the dread
specter of communism.
