[46] New insights into the nature of the Soviet antagonist were presented by three related monographs originally prepared inside RAND Corporation, the research facility which often works with the U.S. Air Force. Nathan Leites, _The Operational Code of the Politburo_ (New York, 1951), digests Soviet fundamentals of international behavior. Margaret Mead's _Soviet Attitudes Toward Authority_ (New York, 1951) applies anthropological and psychiatric methods of analysis; this book, to the military or general reader, should be prefaced by reading her distinguished work, _Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies_, which is now available in an inexpensive, paper-bound reprint (Mentor Books, New York, 1952). Philip Selznick makes the point that organization is itself a Communist power-achieving instrument in his _The Organizational Weapon_ (New York, 1952), the third of the RAND group. Lt. Col. William R. Kintner, a Regular Army officer, prepared the challenging study of the specific military content of Communist thinking in _The Front is Everywhere_ (Norman, Oklahoma, 1950). Among the many good recent books about the Communist challenge, R.N. Carew Hunt, _The Theory and Practice of Communism_ (New York, 1951), is outstanding for its dispassionateness while James Burnham's _The Coming Defeat of Communism_ (New York, 1951) is a ringing appeal to our side to meet the challenge. Stefan T. Possony, in _A Century of Conflict_ (Chicago, 1953), presents the most coldly damning and most far-ranging critique of Communist operations which this writer has seen. Willmoore Kendall rendered Americans a service with his careful translation, editing and introduction of A. Rossi, _A Communist Party in Action_ (New Haven, 1949), while Bob Darke, in a British counterpart, gives a less intellectual and much abbreviated description of the British Communist set-up and operations in _The Communist Technique in Britain_ (London, 1952). Communist revelations of "capitalist" conspiracies which tell more about the haunted, anxious, nasty minds of the Communists than about our own operations are, among others, L. Natarajan, _American Shadow Over India_ (Bombay, 1952), and Jean Cathala, _They are Betraying Peace_ (Moscow, 1951). [47] Paul M. A.
