This book examines the psychological war which certain well-known quarters in the West are waging against the socialist world, fostering enmity, suspicion and bitterness in social consciousness. We all live in one house, the planet called Earth. And if we want to survive, we have to learn to understand one another, to coexist under one roof, something the strategists of the psychological war are trying to prevent us from doing
