Looks at the influence of intellectuals who, although attracted to Communism, did not join the Communist Party and discusses the development of Communist regimes in China, Cuba, and North Vietnam.



This highly regarded book gives a lucid and balanced account of fellow travellers in Europe and America: those individuals who were not willing to become Communists but were attracted by the socialist systems of the Soviet Union, the Popular Democracies, and Communist China. This revised edition contains new chapters on the effects of the development of the Communist regimes in China, Cuba, and North Vietnam.
