description: This book is concerned with the "New Imperialism" of the Soviet Union, which is derived partly from the centuries-old expansionism of Russia and partly from the inherently imperialist nature of communism - a doctrine and a form of government which its disciples believe will inevitably extend to the whole human race. The author begins with a summary of those features of pre-communist Russian expansion which he believes must be known in order to understand contemporary Soviet policy. The main part of the book consists of an analysis of the imperial system established in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and of the policies which are being worked out with the aim of bringing Asia, Africa and Latin America under the dominion of the "New Imperialism."
