I checked the 2nd book in Melvyl, the on-line catalog of the University
of California, and the title is spelled correctly - "The dilemma of 
Eurocommunism".  I'm inclined to think that the cataloguer in the LC
made a spelling error.

The 1st book has the same entry in Melvyl as it does in the LC: "dilemna" 
with a <sic>.

There are a few other entries (seven or so) with "dilemna", published in
Canada, US, and England (without a <sic>, strangely enough).
