Signed and inscribed by Robert Conquest upon front free endpaper to Walter Jajko [Brig Gen USAF, Ret.] "Essentially a work of investigation into the internal struggle within an organisation some of whose deeds were conducted in a blaze of publicity, but others kept as secret as was compatible with mass terror. The secrecy was, indeed, such that for many years important circles in the West, and particularly intellectual circles specially concerned with presenting the truth about the Soviet Union, were either grossly deceived or were, to one degree or another, accomplices in that gross deception." - Preface. [vi], vii-ix, [1], 222 pages. Index, bibliography and footnotes. Margaret Thatcher, described Conquest as "our greatest living historian." - online reference.
