The Moulding of Communists: The Training of the Communist Cadre

This extraordinary book offers bold and brilliant insights into the strategy used to shape men and women into effective and dedicated party leaders. The author was, until his break with Communism, one of these leaders himself, active for fourteen years in propaganda work in the United States, Great Britain, and Europe. His analysis of the party's methods and its psychology is powerful and, in its implications, alarming. The picture that emerges is of an organization commited to one end and willing to use any means to achieve it. A volume in the Fund for the Republic Series on Communism in American Life.
