Item description from seller

Oberammergau, Germany: Intelligence and Military Police School, 1954. Quarto; stiff illustrated covers with hundreds of pages of reports bound in. Includes charts and graphs of Soviet governmental and military organization. Additional monographs laid in include Armed Forces Talk's four-part Communism Series and three issues of the U.S. Constabulary School's Department of Geopolitics series, covering German History up to the rise of the Nazi Party, the United Nations, and International Relations. Staining to rear cover; pages toned but largely unmarked; a Very Good copy. Binder prepared by the United States Army for training Cold War-era officers and staff on USSR history, ideology, and military capabilities. The trove of documents here covers nearly everything an early Cold War American military or intelligence officer would need to know at the time: a history of Marxist ideology and its development in the 19th-century; details on the physical geography of the USSR; an ethnography of Central Asia detailing the Turkomen, Kazakhs, and Tatars; as well as extended analyses on who the power players in the Communist Party were and what the capabilities of their rifle and artillery division might be. Logistics, psychological warfare, and the role of Communism in the Middle East are also covered, with detailed but succinct chapters on each. An impressive array of information highlighting the early Cold War Western perspective. No copies in retail and three holdings found in OCLC at the US Army War College, Georgetown University, and the University of Iowa.…
