Ambassadors & America's Soviet Policy Oxford University Press

Inne 1

In The Ambassadors and America's Soviet Policy , David Mayers presents the most comprehensive critical examination yet of U.S. diplomats in the Soviet Union. His vivid portrayal evokes the social and intellectual atmosphere of the American embassy in the midst of crucial episodes: the Bolshevik Revolution, the Great Purges, the Grand Alliance in World War II, the early Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the rise and decline of detente, and the heady days of perestroika and glasnost. He also offers rare portraits of the professional lives of the diplomats themselves. Assessing the strengths and weaknesses of American diplomacy in its most challenging area, this compelling book fills an important gap in the history of U.S. foreign policy and U.S.-Soviet relations.
