I have forgotten how many supporting troops are supposed to be required to keep one soldier in the field, but I am sure the proportions are not less in mounting one scholar at the point o£ communion with his typewriter. My words of appreci- ation are intended as a testimony to the public and private generosity which sustains such efforts as these. And by generosity I refer not only to material support but also to the largeness of spirit that is ex- pressed in the sharing of knowledge and in the giving of one's self. In this sense particularly I welcome an opportunity to express publicly my gratitude to Professor Philip E. Mosely of Columbia University, who has been an inspiring example both as a teacher and a friend. I am greatly indebted to the Russian Research Center at Harvard University and to its extraordinary series of directors, Clyde Kluck- hohn, William L. Langer, and Merle Fainsod, for support and en- couragement. To the administrative mainstay of that institution, Mrs. Helen W. Parsons, I am under no less obligation for the trans- fusions from her New England spirit during the eight years, off and on, in which this book was written. Research abroad was made pos- sible by a Rockefeller Public Service Award and by grants from the Ford Foundation and the Inter-University Committee on Travel Grants. My thanks also to the Centre de Documentation of the Fondation National des Sciences Politiques, Paris, for the use of its files. During a year's stay with the RAND Corporation, I benefited greatly from the opportunity to carry forward this study in a stimu- lating environment and from the helpful counsel and criticism of my colleagues, especially Paul Kecskemeti, Alexander L. George, Brought to you by | Shenzhen University Authenticated Download Date | 12/20/17 11:11 AM vi ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Alice Langley Hsieh, Allen Whiting, Donald S. Zagoria, Oleg Hoefiding, Nancy Nimitz, Andrew Marshall, Joseph Loftus, and Herbert Dinerstein. The incomparable resources and helpful spirit of Harvard's Widener Library were indispensable in the preparation of this book, and I express warm thanks to its Director and Associate Director, Paul Buck and Douglas Bryant. Two old friends, Jacques Katel and Robert Kleiman, contributed practical assistance and long evenings of political discourse, a form of pleasure which I regard as no less practical. Among the many others who gave valued assistance, particularly in the form of inter- views, some are listed in the bibliographical note. I also wish to acknowledge the resourceful research assistance of Mrs. Ruth Seid- man. Finally, I have been impressed and touched by the creative contri- bution of Thomas J. Wilson, Director of Harvard University Press, and deeply appreciative of the intelligent editing provided by Mrs. Joyce Lebowitz. March 1963 M.D.S.
