Walt Disney: The FBI Files Book

Walt Disney: The FBI Files

by Richard L. Trethewey

255 pages. Paperbound.

This popular book contains over 200 pages taken directly from the FBI files on Walt Disney. See how Marc Eliot's Dark Prince lost track of the facts and engaged in unsupported speculations about Walt Disney and his family.


The FBI files on Walt Disney will fascinate any Disney enthusiast. They contain dozens of newspaper articles that document Walt's political activities and other events as they were seen at that time, as well as the many FBI internal memos on Walt and the Studio. This book takes all of the legible documents from the FBI files on Walt Disney and puts them in chronological order to help demonstrate their relationship to events at the Studio and in Walt's life. The discussion about Marc Eliot's book shows why the speculation about Walt's parentage is foolish, as well as showing how only one of Eliot's "shocking allegations" proved to be true and how many others were demonstrably false. The book talks about the 1941 strike against the Disney Studio and how the effects of that strike are felt in the Studio to this day. Last, but not least, the memos show how the FBI's paranoia about Communism distorted their judgement, culminating with the conclusion that the Studio "has probably been infiltrated."

Buy Steal My Watch!

I had to buy a Mickey Pirates of the Caribben watch at the D23 Expo, and I really prefer a digital. So I'm offering the one I wore for 4 days for just $14.99 - less than half of what I paid for it. If I didn't tell you it was used, you would never be able to tell. A real steal, indeed! Check it out!
