General Smith, Eisenhower's wartime chief of staff, was American Ambassador in Moscow from 1946 to 1949. In this important volume he shows himself to be a man of keen perception in political affairs. This quality, combined with his trained military eye, provides us with a most convincing appraisal of Soviet aims and arms. He leaves little doubt that the Kremlin's goal is world domination and that it may well attempt this in the relatively near future.
