Finished: Triumph by Philip Wylie
Such a stark contrast to his other book "Tomorrow!". This paints the worst possible picture of USSR deceit & essentially shows that they will go to any length to achieve a global communist government. Even if it means destorying the entire northern hemisphere & the vast majority of their own population. With the exception ofcourse of the "chosen few". I suppose that in the time that this book was written, this was a highly likely possibility. The Cold War was in full swing & no one really knew for sure what "the other side" possessed or what they were willing to do. Scary stuff. What's scarier is that today, it's muslim nations (well a small minority of, but thats all it takes) who feel the way the communists in this book do. The question is, are they crazy enough (read the lengths the communists went to in this book & crazy is the only word that fits!) to do the same to achieve their end of a muslim world?
