A landmark work of diplomatic history, Soviet Foreign Policy, 1917-1941 chronicles the development of Soviet international relations from the Bolshevik Revolution through the eve of the German invasion of the USSR. Written by one of America's most distinguished diplomats and foreign policy architects, George F. Kennan, the work presents a rigorous and authoritative analysis of how the newly formed Soviet state carved out its place in the international order. Kennan details the ideological imperatives, strategic calculations, and shifting alliances that shaped Moscow's dealings with the West, Japan, and its near neighbours across two turbulent decades. Drawing on his unparalleled expertise in Soviet affairs, Kennan argues that the contradictions embedded in early Soviet foreign policy left an enduring imprint on the Cold War confrontation that followed, making this an essential text for understanding twentieth-century geopolitics.
