The Soviet Union and the Threat from the East, 1933-41: Moscow, Tokyo, and the Prelude of the Pacific War (SERIES IN RUSSIAN AND EAST EUROPEAN STUDIES) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This is the third in a series of volumes detailing the history of Soviet foreign policy from the Great Depression to the Great Patriotic War. It covers Soviet policy in the Far East from the Japanese rejection of a non-aggression pact in January 1933 to the conclusion of a neutrality pact in April 1941. During the course of that period the Soviet Union moved from being the vulnerable and isolated suitor to a position of negotiation from strength.

From Library Journal
Here is solid research into the poorly known field of prewar (1933-41) Japanese-Soviet relations, which included a brief (five months) but bloody conflict that saw the direction of Japanese expansionism change from north to south and the Pacific region. By obtaining formerly classified documents, Haslam succeeds in illuminating, if in slightly dry, exhaustive detail, the diplomacy that took place in a region of complex cultural, economic, and military entities. The structure of the book lends itself to the possible genesis of smaller works on the various parts of this comprehensive study. Excellent complementary reading will be found in Alvin Coox's Nomonhan: Japan Against Russia, 1939 (Stanford Univ. Pr., 1985), which treats diplomacy, aspects of the conflict, the cessation of hostilities, and ramifications for both sides. A sound, well-executed rendition of an often ignored subject, this is recommended for academic and diplomatic/military history collections. (Photos not seen.)-- Thomas G. Anton, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago
