Sommario/riassunto: | As World War II ended, few Americans in government or universities knew much about the Soviet Union. As David Engerman shows in this book, a network of scholars, soldiers, spies, and philanthropists created an enterprise known as 'Soviet Studies' to fill in this dangerous gap in American knowledge. |
