TWO GOOD BOOKS (AS A WARNING) FOR CONCERNED VIETNAMESE
Ngoc Tran
I would like to recommend to all Vietnamese the following two books:
"The Vatican's Holocaust" and "Vietnam: Why Did We Go#?" by Avro Manhattan.
The catholics apologists used to say that the crusades, the inquisitions etc...
were things in the past, in the dark ages, in the medieval period.
These two books showed that the Catholic Church never changed one single iota#.
Read "The Vatican's Holocaust" first, then read "Vietnam: Why Did We Go" you'll
see some connections and parallels. For obvious reasons, I can only post here
the Prefaces and the Contents of the books.
(Avro Manhattan is a world-renowned 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 also wrote political
commentaries for the BBC.
Besides lecturing and writing short stories, essays, articles, novels and
plays, he has written several best-sellers, including THE VATICAN IN WORLD
POLITICS, twice Book-Of-The-Month and going through 57 editions.)

THE VATICAN'S HOLOCAUST
The sensational account of the most
horrifying religious massacre of the
20th Century
By Avro Manhattan
(Ozark Books, Springfield, MO#. 1986)
PREFACE TO THE AMERICAN EDITIONS:
THE VATICAN'S HOLOCAUST is not a misnomer, an accusation, and even less a
speculation. It is an historic fact. Rabid nationalism and religious
dogmaticism were its two main ingredients. During the existence of Croatia as
an independent Catholic State, over 700,000 men, women and children perished.
Many were executed, tortured, died of starvation, buried alive, or were burned
to death.
Hundreds were forced to become Catholic. Catholic padres ran concentration
camps; Catholic priests were officers of the military corps which committed
such atrocities.
700,000 in a total population of a few million, proportionally, would be as
if one-third of the USA population had been exterminated by a Catholic militia#.
What has been gathered in this book will vindicate the veracity of these
facts. Dates, names, and places, as well as photos are there to prove them.
They should become known to the American (and the Vietnamese#. CTN) public,
not to foster vindictiveness, but to warn them of the danger, which racialism
and sectarianism, when allied with religious intolerance can bring to any
contemporary nation, whether in Europe or in the New World.
This work should be assessed without prejudice and as a lesson; but even
more vital, as a warning for the future of the Americans (Vietnamese#. CTN),
beginning with that of the USA#.

VIETNAM: WHY DID WE GO#?
By Avro Manhattan
Chick Publications, CA#. 1984
PREFACE:
The political and military origin of the war of Vietnam has been described
with millions of written and spoken words. Yet, nothing has been said about
one of the most significant forces which contributed to its promotion, namely,
the role played by religion, which in this case, means the part played by the
Catholic Church, and by her diplomat counterpart, the Vatican.
Their active participation is not mere speculation. It is an historical
fact as concrete as the presence of the US, or the massive guerrilla resistance
of Asia communism. The activities of the last two have been scrutinized by
thousands of books, but the former has never been assessed, not even in a
summarized form.
The Catholic Church must be considered as the main promoter in the origin,
escalation and prosecution of the Vietnamese conflict. From the very beginning
this religious motivation helped set in motion the avalanche that was to cause
endless agonies in the Asiatic and American continents.
The price paid was immense: thousands of billions of dollars; the mass
dislocation of entire populations; political anarchy; military devastation on
an unprecedented scale; the disgrace upon the civilized world; the lost of
thousands upon thousands of young Asian and American lives. Last but not
least, the wounding, mutilation and death of hundreds of thousands of men,
women and children.
The tragedy of Vietnam will go down in history as one of the most pernicious
deeds of the contemporary alliance between politics and organized religion.
Factors of a political, ideological, economic and military nature played no
mean role in the unfolding of the war, but the religion of the Catholic Church
was one of its main instigators. From the beginning her role has been
minimized when not obliterated altogether. Concrete facts however, cannot be
wiped away so easily, and it is these which we shall now scrutinize, even if
briefly#.
