British and American Commercial Relations with Soviet Russia, 1918-1924 - by Christine a White (Paperback)

About the Book

British and American Commercial Relations with Soviet Russia, 1918-1924

Book Synopsis

White reassesses Anglo-American trade with Soviet Russia immediately following the Bolshevik Revolution to show that, unlike diplomatic relations, commercial ties were not severed by ideological differences. She argues that British and American trade with Russia resumed soon after the Bolsheviks' rise to power and that this period of trade had a significant effect on future commerce.

Review Quotes

"A first-class study of its subject and one that has a surprisingly direct bearing upon the issues that figure on the international agenda as the west confronts another change of regime in Moscow."--"Slavic Review"

"A fresh and thorough study of a relatively neglected area of Western involvement with the Bolshevik Revolution in its early stages."--"Russian Review"

"For students of international relations and, in particular, for those interested in the connection between military, political, diplomatic, economic, and commercial relations, Christine White's offering is a fine example of the genre."--"International History Review"

"Insightful and compelling. That anticommunism determined diplomacy is certain, but White shows that public and private figures subordinated ideology to economics."--"Diplomatic History"
