Following the techniques of the wartime Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the CIA attempts to undermine the Soviet social and state system. Professor Yakovlev gives a detailed analysis of ‘psychological warfare’, describing ‘Operation Solzhenitsyn’, Carter’s ‘human rights’ campaign and the true image of those who took part in it in the U.S.S.R.—Andrei Sakharov, Yuri Orlov, et al. Of particular interest is the author’s examination of the collaboration between U.S. scholars and the CIA. The book has sold 300,000 copies in the Soviet Union.
