This research uncovers the complex relationship between the Communist Party and the Armed Forces in the Soviet Union from the death of Stalin to the end of the Khrushchev period. The author also traces its general evolution from 1917 on. For the later period, he was able to interview high-ranking officers of the Soviet Forces who had left the USSR. Light is thrown on the dramatic clash of personalities and institutions, of interests and doctrinaire conceptions—the fight for power. This work will unquestionably establish itself as authoritative and indispensable for all those whose business it is to study Soviet military and political affairs. It will also be of profound interest to everyone alive to the human issues involved in the functioning of the machinery of Soviet Society.
