The Nuclear Delusion: Soviet-American Relations in the Atomic Age By George F. Kennan Pantheon, 208 pp., $13.95

Dangerous Relations: The Soviet Union in World Politics, 1970-1982 By Adam B. Ulam Oxford, 337 pp., $25 Surely the supreme public issues of our terrible times are the nature of Communism and the nature of the weapons and other measures we Americans should use to resist it. The political globe is a diverse place, but its most enormous feature is the piecemeal assault by the tightly organized and expansionist Soviet empire on the larger but looser and creakier American-led coalition of countries, and on the few neutrals.
