Summary:

"This book continues the author's multi-year study of Russo-British relations. His two earlier monographs cover the period of the Great Game (1857-1907) and the turbulent times of the Russian Revolution and Civil War (1917-24). Intended for both specialists and the lay reader, this volume, like its predecessors, reconstructs key external factors that influenced the dialogue between Moscow and London. It also examines the internal political dynamics of Great Britain and the USSR against the background of international developments in the years 1925-32, known as the post-Locarno era. It describes important episodes in Soviet-British affairs in the political, military, economic, cultural, and social spheres, illuminating the statesmen, diplomats, and public figures who contributed to bilateral contacts, albeit ones violated by sporadic clashes"-- Provided by publisher.
