Excerpt from Russian-American Relations, March, 1917-March, 1920: Documents and Papers It is axiomatic that upon the re-establishment of normal cul tural, commercial, and political relations with the Russian peo ple depends any adequate solution of the problems of food supply and the revival of industry and trade which involve the whole world. In the belief that the first requisite for the renewal of these essential relationships between the United States and Russia is a fuller knowledge of our Government's Russian policy during the past three years, this Association on August 2, 1919, invited Dr. John A. Ryan, Mr. J. Henry Scattergood, and. Mr. William Allen White to direct a' study of russian-american relations since the overthrow of the tsar. The result is this volume of documents which, because of its objective and non-partisan character will, we, believe, contribute towards the formation of an enlightened public opinion on this most important aspect of our foreign relations. This Association plans to conduct, as One of its activities, further investigations of similar character into other phases of our foreign policy. James G. Mcdonald, Chairman of the League of Free Nations Association. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the Bancroft Prize, and the Parkman Prize From acclaimed diplomat and historian George Kennan, a landmark history of the crucial months in 1917–1918 that forged the pattern of Soviet-American relations When the Bolsheviks seized power in November 1917, American diplomats in St. Petersburg and Moscow were thrown into a bewildering situation. Should the new regime be recognized? What was its true nature? And was there any way to keep Russia fighting against Germany in the Great War? In vivid detail, George Kennan’s classic history tells the gripping story of the Americans’ furious, and ultimately failed, efforts to strike a deal to keep the Soviets in the war—and how these events set the pattern of future relations between the two emerging superpowers. In a new foreword, Kennan biographer Frank Costigliola puts the book in the context of its Cold War publication and Kennan’s life.

Mr. Kennan has developed a true scholar s integrity; and he writes with delightful elegance. . . . The book is a pleasure to read, [even] apart from the importance of its theme. A.J.P. Taylor
