The Third World War

What Kind of War?

After all these years we are still without an appropriate term to designate the struggle between the Soviet Union and the non —Communist world. The “cold” in “cold war” never did justice to the blood that flowed hotly enough in Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Iraq, Algeria and Hungary. Messrs. Strausz-Hupé, Possony and their associates in the Foreign Policy Research Institute have taken over the phrase “protracted conflict” from Mao Tse-tung. This correctly emphasizes the long-drawn-out time scheme, but in no way suggests the conflict’s nature.
