Target: The World: Communist Propaganda Activities in 1955. Edited by Evron M. Kirkpatrick. 362 pp. New York: The Macmillan Company. $5.00

This excellent book assembles in orderly fashion a great mass of data. It begins with a brief analysis of the nature of world Communism, its history, apparatus and objective. It explains how Communist propaganda activities fit into the general operation, and how—in terms both of media (radio, TV, print, motion pictures, travel, trade fairs, exhibits) and of organization (Party and fronts)—the propaganda is disseminated. There is a summary discussion of the special (“Geneva”) features of Communist propaganda during 1955 as strategically developed on a world scale. Finally, there is a detailed country-by-country analysis of the propaganda themes, slogans and transmission organizations.
