Description: "This political treatise, first published in 1962, examines the history and nature of Communism as it developed in the Soviet Union and Poland. Jozef Mackiewicz argues that accommodation with the Communists simply helped them to impose their vision of the world and pursue their goal of global domination. He compares Communism to Nazism and insists that the former was the greater threat to the future of humanity."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: First published in Polish in 1962 under title Zwycięstwo prowokacji.
