Strategy of the First Blow Stefan

War and the Soviet Union by H. S. Dinerstein (Praeger, $5.50) is one of the most important books to appear recently. Superseding all previous discussions of Soviet military doctrine, it deals directly with the primary problem confronting the United States: is the Soviet Union bent on all-out nuclear aggression? Dinerstein’s findings depart radically from many cherished preconceptions about Communist strategy and should have the effect of a bomb bursting among a herd of ostriches.

The author is a skilled historian and an expert in content analysis. He brings to his task strategic comprehension and a broad understanding of the Soviet scene. He documents every statement with painstaking accuracy and interprets it through precise semantics. His deductions are not based upon haphazard quotations, but on true insight into the development of Soviet thinking.
