Scope and content

Scott feels that the article in "The Times" about his warning Bevin regarding Chinese intervention in Korea "fortified [his] old prejudice that many works of 'history' should be housed in the 'fiction' shelves of libraries." He discusses the incident and the differences in the attitudes of the War office and the MoD. Scott gives his views on what he sees as chronic internal problems for the Soviet Union.
