Hewlett Johnson was a Church of England priest and a Stalinist who served as Dean of Canterbury where he acquired his nickname the Red Dean, for his unyielding support for the Soviet Union. In this volume, the Red Dean expounds on, in simple, non-technical terms, what he terms 'the great experiment' of in a new order of society taking place within the Soviet Union.
