This impressive collection of essays on various aspects of communism represents what the author has had to say on matters of international importance over the last 10 years. (1966) the essays range from his examination of Khrushchev's "Secret Speech" on Stalin at the 20th Congress, which was written in 1956, To "The Failure Of Khrushchevism" written in 1965. Another important item in this collection of writings is a retrospect, "20 years of Cold War", which was the theme of the author's speeches made at the "Teach-ins" on the war in Vietnam which took place in Washington in 1965 and caused widespread interest throughout the United States. -- front fold over blurb Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
