Paperback. Condition: New. Reprint. Language: English. Brand new Book. This deeply informed book traces the dramatic history of early Soviet-western relations after World War I. Michael Jabara Carley provides a lively exploration of the formative years of Soviet foreign policy making after the Bolshevik Revolution, especially focusing on Soviet relations with the West during the 1920s. Carley demonstrates beyond doubt that this seminal period-termed the "silent conflict" by one Soviet diplomat-launched the Cold War. He shows that Soviet-western relations, at best grudging and mistrustful, were almost always hostile. Concentrating on the major western powers-Germany, France, Great Britain, and the United States-the author also examines the ongoing political upheaval in China that began with the May Fourth Movement in 1919 as a critical influence on western-Soviet relations. Carley draws on twenty-five years of research in recently declassified Soviet and western archives to present an authoritative history of the foreign policy of the Soviet state. From the earliest days of the Bolshevik Revolution, deeply anti-communist western powers attempted to overthrow the newly formed Soviet government. As the weaker party, Soviet Russia waged war when it had to, but it preferred negotiations and agreements with the West rather than armed confrontation. Equally embattled by internal struggles for power after the death of V. I. Lenin, the Soviet government was torn between its revolutionary ideals and the pragmatic need to come to terms with its capitalist adversaries. The West too had its ideologues and pragmatists. This illuminating window into the overt and covert struggle and ultimate standoff between the USSR and the West during the 1920s will be invaluable for all readers interested in the formative years of the Cold War.

Nella minuziosa ricostruzione storica delle modalità e delle cause che portarono al fallimento dei tentativi di accordo tra URSS e anglo-francesi e alla decisione sovietica di siglare il patto di non aggressione con la Germania nazista, l'autore ricorre alla analisi comparata e contestuale delle fonti britanniche, francesi e russe, utilizzando anche i materiali resi copiosamente - ma ancora disordinatamente e discrezionalmente - disponibili dall'apertura e desecretazione degli archivi sovietici dopo la fine dell'URSS. L'accesso a questo nuovo materiale sovietico d'archivio offre alcune conferme circa le valutazioni e il comportamento dei dirigenti dell'Unione Sovietica. Ciò che rende particolarmente interessante il lavoro di Carley è l'analisi contestuale di tutte le fonti. È illuminante la lettura di quelle franco-inglesi, da cui emerge l'orientamento antisovietico e la sostanziale diffidenza occidentale nei confronti dell'URSS, che a sua volta ricambiava pienamente questa diffidenza. L'illusione della diplomazia britannica di trovare ancora un appeasement con Hitler scongiurando la guerra, e la scelta deliberata di non favorire l'affermazione di un ruolo nuovo e importante che l'URSS avrebbe inevitabilmente assunto nel continente europeo, divenendo un perno essenziale dell'alleanza antitedesca (come di fatto avvenne con la partecipazione dell'URSS nel giugno 1941 all'alleanza antifascista), spingono la direzione sovietica a siglare il patto Ribentropp-Molotov. At a crucial point in the twentieth century, as Nazi Germany prepared for war, negotiations between Britain, France, and the Soviet Union became the last chance to halt Hitler's aggression. Incredibly, the French and British governments dallied, talks failed, and in August 1939 the Soviet Union signed a nonaggression pact with Germany. Michael Carley's gripping account of these negotiations is not a pretty story. It is about the failures of appeasement and collective security in Europe. It is about moral depravity and blindness, about villains and cowards, and about heroes who stood against the intellectual and popular tides of their time. Some died for their beliefs, others labored in obscurity and have been nearly forgotten. In 1939 they sought to make the Grand Alliance that never was between France, Britain, and the Soviet Union. This story of their efforts is background to the wartime alliance created in 1941 without France but with the United States in order to defeat a demonic enemy. 1939 is based upon Mr. Carley's longtime research on the period, including work in French, British, and newly opened Soviet archives. He challenges prevailing interpretations of the origins of World War II by situating 1939 at the end of the early cold war between the Soviet Union, France, and Britain, and by showing how anti-communism was the major cause of the failure to form an alliance against Hitler. 1939 was published on September 1, the sixtieth anniversary of the Nazi invasion of Poland and the start of the war.
