War and the People791This pamphlet enumerates the benefits of Communism and the pact of the Soviet Union with Hitler. It was printed in February 1941, and after describing the Imperialist world war, the war and the Middle Classes, “how the war hobbled the working classes”, it goes on to (obtusely) describe how the understanding between the Soviet Union and Germany has saved 150 million lives.  All of this goes away four months later when the Soviet Union is viciously and brutally attacked by Germany in Operation Barbarossa, and then, most of those “saved lives” turn out not to be so.
