The author deals with a neglected area: inherent tension between Russian naval and mercantile interests and the origins of international rivalry in the North Pacific at large. Barratt shows that Russia's motives for early expeditions to the Pacific were to promote science, exploration, and trade. But when imperialist powers vied for territory and resources in the area, military confrontation became a possibility. 410 0$aUniversity of British Columbia Press Pacific maritime studies ;$v1. 607 $aSoviet Union$xHistory 607 $aSoviet Union$xHistory, Naval 607 $aAlaska$xDiscovery and exploration 676 $a979/.01 700 $aBarratt$b Glynn$01627271 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816026203321 996 $aRussia in Pacific waters, 1715-1825$94098355 997 $aUNINA
