Abstract
THIS work is an examination of the conditions of medical practice in Soviet Russia in 1932. Its entertainment value is indubitable and is derived from the description of a five weeks' tour made in the summer of 1932 during which the distinguished authors travelled more than six thousand miles of Soviet Russia. They write with a boyish enthusiasm and naïveté which gives the book great charm. They recognise that in an implacably ‘conducted’ tour they were shown the best and not the worst.
