This is an updated version of a Cold War classic... The book is rich in factual information and clear in its logic... After reading it, one is awakened: communism has never truly "nakedly" retreated; it continues to challenge human values in new guises. Highly recommended to all readers concerned with freedom and truth; it is worth rereading.
— Reader Anonymous

A fantastic set of books that (helped me) understand the true history of the Soviet Communist Party and the Chinese Communist Party... and their dark, cruel violence... It's not boring to read; it's engrossing and hard to put down. Thank you to the author for creating this extraordinary set of books, awakening people to beware of the contemporary erosion of communism!

Opening Quote

"It is impossible to coexist with communism on the same planet. Either it will be allowed to spread like cancer, eventually destroying humanity, or humanity will completely abandon communism."
— Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Foreword

In 1958, "The Naked Communist" was published and quickly became a bestseller, receiving widespread acclaim. Within a few years, sales surpassed the million mark. During the Reagan administration in the 1980s, if you asked Americans whether they had read or heard of this book, almost everyone would nod.

The book also garnered attention from intelligence agencies, earning high praise from the FBI and being hailed by the CIA as "the Bible of the Cold War," with intelligence officers each having a copy.

The author, W. Cleon Skousen, was a popular historian, speaker, and bestselling author. He spent 16 years of his career early on at the FBI, during which time he began studying communism. This book is the culmination of decades of his dedicated research.

In 1961, Skousen added "The 45 Goals of Communism" to the eighth edition of the book. These goals aimed to destroy American culture and ultimately subvert the United States, attracting the attention of high-level U.S. government officials and being recorded in the Congressional Record.

Unfortunately, Professor Paul Skousen, Cleon Skousen's son, found that as of 2017, 44 of "The 45 Goals of Communism" had been achieved or partially achieved! Consequently, he revised the book and incorporated his research findings into a 60th-anniversary commemorative edition. Interest in the book surged again, with sales skyrocketing.

Professor Paul Skousen is a mentor and friend to veteran media professional Fang Wei. The two agreed to publish a Chinese edition of the book. Fang Wei discovered that while the book had a profound global impact, its early publication left two regrets: First, the history of the world's anti-communist movement only covered up to 1960, leaving a 70-year gap from the 1960s to the present. During this period, the entire world underwent tremendous changes. For example, the process of the Soviet Union's disintegration serves as an excellent reference for peacefully dismantling the CCP today; the actions of prominent figures and the general public back then also offer many lessons for people in today's world.

Therefore, in addition to translating the original work, Fang Wei also wrote "The History of the CCP's Rise" and the history of the anti-communist movement from the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis to the present, which comprise chapters 11 to 17 of this 2025 Chinese augmented edition.

Another regret was that due to the CCP's continuous "development" of communist theory, the book's analysis of its absurdity was less targeted for Chinese readers. Hence, Fang Wei also rewrote this section to make it more accessible, understandable, and pertinent.

This 2025 Chinese augmented edition has four main features:

1. Analyzes the absurdity of communist philosophy, dismantling the theoretical foundation of the Communist Party;
2. Reveals the Communist Party's way of thinking and operating, and points out its weaknesses;
3. Proposes key matters for the peaceful dissolution of the Communist Party;
4. Presents the magnificent history of the world's anti-communist movement in a storytelling format.

Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" states: "If you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated." For Chinese readers, whether you are in mainland China wanting to escape the CCP's enslavement, or overseas defending hard-won freedoms, this book will help you understand the Communist Party's history, its ways of thinking and operating, and find the best strategies to defeat it.

Paul Skousen, Fang Wei
