Synopsis:

Stalin exchanged more than six hundred messages with Allied leaders Churchill and Roosevelt during the Second World War. In this new volume -- the fruit of a unique British-Russian scholarly collaboration -- the messages are published and also analyzed within their historical context. Ranging from intimate personal greetings to weighty salvos about diplomacy and strategy, T HE KREMLIN LETTERS: STALIN'S WARTIME CORRESPONDENCE WITH CHURCHILL AND ROOSEVELT offers fascinating new revelations of the political machinations and human stories behind the Allied triumvirate.

Edited and narrated by two of the world's leading scholars on World War II diplomacy and based on a decade of research in British, American, and newly available Russian archives, this crucial addition to wartime scholarship illuminates an alliance that really worked while exposing its fractious limits and the issues and egos that set the stage for the Cold War that followed.

David Reynolds is professor of international history at Cambridge University and the author of eleven books including FROM MUNICH TO PEARL HARBOR: ROOSEVELT'S AMERICA AND THE ORIGINS OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR; FROM WORLD WAR TO COLD WAR: CHURCHILL, ROOSEVELT, AND THE INTERNATIONAL HISTORY OF THE 1940S; and THE LONG SHADOW: THE LEGACIES OF THE GREAT WAR IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. His coauthor for THE KREMLIN LETTERS, Vladimir Pechatnov, is a prolific scholar of the Cold War and chair of European and American studies, Moscow State Institute of International Relations.
