Abstract

In 1945 the world's oldest civilized region had become a political, economic, psychological, and military vacuum-in short, a strategic vacuum. Nature has a way of filling vacuums, accord­ing to inexorable laws. The rulers of the Soviet Union, confident that victory in World War II proved Marxian doctrine to be some­what indistinguishable from the laws of nature, aspired to fill that vacuum with the poisonous vapors of Communism.
