New Directions

By Leonard Schapiro
The Soviet Political Mind
by Robert C. Tucker

Praeger, 230 pp., (paperback $1.95) (paper)

For this new volume on the general theme of the changing Soviet system Professor Tucker has collected ten stimulating essays. Two of them, including one of the most thoughtful, 'The Dialectics of Co-existence,' appear for the first time. Although the author claims no more than a 'common purpose' for these essays, they do in fact collectively offer the reflections of one of the most mature and balanced scholars working in the Soviet field, on the general pattern of evolution of Soviet policy and society in the past decade, both in their internal and external aspects.
