From the late 1920s, when the first Five-Year Plan was launched, to 1975, when most of the Brezhnev administration's policies had taken shape, this carefully researched and extensively documented book describes an elite torn between conflicting desire for the West's advanced technology and fear of its ideology, between confidence in Soviet military might and distrust of capitalist entrapment.
