...immediate and so overwhelming that they eclipse all other threats and evils, apparently including those embodied by the Soviet system and Soviet behavior. The trouble with that line of thinking is that it could lead some readers to the sort of simple-minded defeatism summarized by the slogan "Better Red than dead." Better still to be neither Red nor dead, and that too is a choice available to us. Yet that choice gets lost in the apocalyptic musings and dire warnings of Schell's final chapter. He seems to think that we are moving ever closer to the brink...
