"Communists and Emigrants" is a collection of studies and sketches that describe the activities undertaken by the Soviet Union, its branches and allies in the West to gain the favor of public opinion. The author focuses in particular on the responses of the democratic camp, both on the international forum and in the case of Polish political emigration.
