Summary: "Today's headlines remind us that there has been no basic change in Communist imperialism. The danger which world communism presents to the free nations has not been abated. If anything, it has increased. We will not be able to preserve and develop adequately our heritage of freedom without continually adding to our knowledge of the nature of communism and its totalitarian objectives. What is communism? What gives communism its dynamic character? What have been the contributions of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, and Khrushchev to the development of the world Communist movement? How does Communism come to power? How has the Communist empire expanded? What are the attractions of Communism?" -- from the foreword.
