INSIDE A COMMUNIST CELL
by ex-counterspy Karl Prussion

Karl Prussion won’t bore you with generalities. He assumes that you are aware of the Communist menace, and unless you are a Soviet agent (as all Communists are) or one of the dupes into whose hands some of these records sometimes fall, you are prepared to fight Communism. To fight it, you must know something of the nature of the enemy in your own community. The ideal place to learn that is right inside a Communist Cell. That is where Karl Prussion takes you in this dynamic, dramatic album.

Karl Prussion’s experience has been at the business end of the Communist Criminal Conspiracy.
