Ever wonder what the Soviets actually had planed as far as tactics to conquer the United States of America. You must read this book. This highlights the steps the Soviets would take when looking to subjugate a nation. Anyone interested in psychological warfare or politics should read this.

Pretty unclear on the actual source of this; it only claims "While the wording of this particular treatise-and there are any number of them-may or may not be completely authentic,two things are historically certain: 1. Such brainwashing activities really occurred. 2.This volume accurately conveys the principles and techniques employed." Which makes it seem like propaganda of its own. I would be interested in reading about the background of this version being released in the US in English, and some actual research on the sources of this text and etc. But it did contain some choice quotes and phrases, although it was strange how almost the entire and only strategy of brainwashing is to make any particular person or enemy be written off as insane.
