Acknowledgments
These lectures are published here as they were delivered in the University of Cambridge in January-March 1967. I cherish the memory of the warm-hearted response with which I met in the University from extraordinarily attentive audiences, from the Electors of the Trevelyan Lecturer, and in particular from the Master of Peterhouse, and the Master, Vice-Master and Fellows of Christ’s College.
I am indebted to my wife for ideas on how to deal within the compass of these six lectures with the great and complex problems of half a century of Soviet history. She has helped me to bring clarity into the difficult composition of this survey; such faults as readers will undoubtedly detect are entirely my own. I am grateful to my friend Professor E F C Ludowyk for the critical understanding and patience with which he read the manuscript; and my thanks are due to Mr John Bell and Mr Dan M Davin for their helpful suggestions for improvements.
