[6], 154 p. Index. "In a thoroughly documented story that reads with the pace of a thrilling novel, the authors reveal for the first time the record of international intrigue against Soviet Russia since the Revolution of 1917 up to the present minute.

This is the great conspiracy which has already cost the lives of millions; which caused World War II and now threatens to plunge the world into another war." - back cover. Unmarked.
