Scarce original 1950 U.S. Air University publication, A Chronology of Communism, produced for the Air Command and Staff School, Squadron Officer Course, at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama. The publication is prominently marked RESTRICTED on both the original pink wrapper and internal pages. Compiled by Clanton W. Williams, Colonel, USAFR, Professor of History at the University of Alabama, the fuller internal title describes the work as: A Chronology Covering the Expansion and Flowering of Communism from 1920 to 1950 The chronology documents the international development of Communism through the first half of the twentieth century, including events involving the Soviet Union, China, Eastern Europe, international diplomacy, Communist political movements, and the emerging Cold War. Particularly interesting as an artifact of the very early Cold War, produced in 1950 as the United States military was attempting to understand and teach officers about the global expansion of Communism.
