...brief "vacation" at Russia's First Party Secretary Nikita Khrushchev's sunny Yalta villa, he did not expect to meet so many old comrades. The emphasis of the eight-day talk in Nikita's parlor and in Yalta's woods and hills was on "comradeship" among the European Communist Parties. A thoughtful Tito, as he flew back to Belgrade one day last week, must have been brooding deeply about how comradely an independent Yugoslav Communist could afford to be. It was not difficult to understand...
...support the Socialist government. They demanded a show of hands, even though such a demand is hard to square with the theory of Communist discipline. The party elders, however, felt bound to hew to the Kremlin's new doctrine of fraternizing with the Socialists, whether or not the comradeship is reciprocated...

Against this new campaign, a vast outpouring of Western dollars to Asia will not be enough. The free world now confronts an old enemy...
Masters made good in and out of combat. His descriptions of camp and barracks life often seem trivial in detail, but in the end they tell what it was that kept generations of Englishmen in a service that had little to offer but comradeship, pride in outfit and a sense of duty. Masters does not pretty up military service, and he does not try to pretty up India. Yet he obviously loved them both and manages to convey the quality of his. affection. His story closes in 1939 when, at 25, he was still a lieutenant in an army that...
