Father Walsh wrote and lectured a good deal. You might look at:
Edmund A. Walsh, The Fall of the Russian Empire: The Story of the Last Romanovs and the Coming of the Bolsheviki (Boston: Little, Brown, 1928)
and
Edmund A. Walsh, Footnotes to History: Selected Speeches and Writing of Edmund A. Walsh, S.J., Founder of the School of Foreign Service, ed. Anna. Watkins (Washington, D.C.: Georgetown University Press, 1990)

Query: Why did GU SFS's founder Edmund A. Walsh hate Communism his whole life?

Do any members know of any documentation that explains why Father Edmund A. Walsh SJ, founder of Georgetown University's (Walsh) School of Foreign Service in 1919, developed a lifelong hatred of Communism that manifested itself on his return from Moscow in 1923, after serving 1922-1923 as head of Pope Pius XI's "Papal Relief Mission to Russia"? 

What in the world happened to Walsh in Russia?
