The
Religious Beginnings of an Unholy War
The Shocking Story of the Catholic
"Church's" Role in Starting the Vietnam War
By Avro Manhattan
Avro Manhattan (1914-1990).
Avro
Manhattan was the world's foremost authority on Roman
Catholicism in politics. A resident of London, during World War
II he operated a radio station called "Radio Freedom"
broadcasting to occupied Europe.
He was the
author of over 20 books including the best-seller The
Vatican in World Politics, twice Book-of-the-Month and
going through 57 editions. He was a Great Briton who
risked his life daily to expose some of the darkest secrets of
the Papacy. His books were #1 on the Forbidden Index
for the past 50 years!!
More About the Author:
With an immense collection
of facts, photos, names and dates, Manhattan proves that the Vietnam War
began as a religious conflict. He shows how America was manipulated into
supporting Catholic oppression in Vietnam supposedly to fight communism.
Manhattan explains:
-
How religious pamphlets
and radio broadcasts convinced one million Catholics to leave North
Vietnam and live under Catholic rule in the South, overwhelming the
Buddhists.
-
How brutal persecution
of Vietnamese Buddhists led to rioting and suicides by fire in the
streets.
-
Why the reports of what
was really happening, written by American military and civil
advisers, failed to reach the U.S. President.
-
Why the project
backfired, and as U.S. soldiers continued to die, the Vatican made a
secret deal with Ho Chi Minh.
