About This Item
Washington, DC, USA: Executive Intelligence Review, 1988. CG3 - A tight, clean, sound copy in white wraps with minor overall shelf wear with a light bump at the top left corner plus there is some light creasing on the front and back covers plus there are the usual library marks, stamps, label, and pocket on the spine, the top outside paper edges, both sides of the front and endpaper, and on the inside surface of the back cover. This is an EIR (Executive Intelligence Review) Special Report dated September 30th 1988. A summary of intelligence analysis arguing for the accelerating threat that the Soviet Union posed to Western Europe based on the Soviet's adoption of the Ogarkov war plan. This book is notable for the inadequate quality and distorted perceptions of intelligence analysis just before the collapse and breakup of the Soviet Union in 1990. These errors of interpretation and distortions are especially significant in the incorrect assessment of the negative affects of the Afghanistan war on the Russian polity as well as the accelerating decline of the Soviet centrally managed economy. 205p.. Revised and Abridged Edition. Trade Paperback. Good/No Jacket as Issued. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Ex-Library.
