The Assault on the West

Communist political warfare techniques: a general survey of the strategy and tactics employed by International Communism in its bid for world domination during the 20 years ended 1968. Flyleaf: "Mr. Greig has made a special study of Communist political warfare techniques. His aim in this work is to present a general survey of the strategy and tactics employed by International Communism in its bid for world domination during the last 20 years. In THE ASSAULT ON THE WEST he gives many new facts about the global nature of Communist bloc propaganda activities, foreign broadcasts, news agencies, international front organisations, espionage, subversion, Communist Parties and their methods and finally Communist terrorism and guerilla warfare. The information presented is thoroughly documented and has been drawn from Communist policy statements, official reports of Western Governments and the statements of defectors who actually took part in the events described. The author believes that despite the occurrence of the Sino-Soviet split and other changes which have taken place in the Communist world in recent years, the threat posed by the Communist assault on the West is increasing in scope and intensity rather than decreasing. Rejecting the view that the Cold War is over or as one national newspaper put it that “the world conspiracy of Communism is dying its natural death”, the author points out that the main thrust of the Communist offensive is now being centered upon attempts to gain control or influence over the developing countries of Asia, Africa and South America in which areas of the world the West’s vital sources of raw materials lie. Mr. Greig considers that the Western nations need urgently to re-appraise the seriousness of the danger inherent in the offensive being carried out against them under the cloak of the deceitful propaganda slogan “peaceful co-existence”. He urges that the West should unite to take new measures to defend itself and its freedoms from the threat posed by the contemporary totalitarian tyranny of the extreme left."
