Silent Conflict

More about the book

This deeply informed book provides a rare inside look at the previously hidden history of the formative years of Soviet foreign policy making and the Soviet Union's early relations with the West. Michael Jabara Carley draws on twenty-five years of research in declassified Soviet and western archives to present the most authoritative history available of the foreign policy of the Soviet state. His lively and 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.
