xiii,672p. HB 24x16cm Dobrynin, a close associate of U.S. presidents and Soviet premiers for 24 years, writes a first-hand account of both sides of the Cold War diplomatic struggle. "Informative, wise, even hilarious at times, with perceptive assessments of U.S. presidents."--Don Oberdorfer, diplomatic correspondent, The Washington Post. From the Publisher: "The most revealing account of the 40 years of the Cold War to have come out of Russia.... No other ambassador in modern times has played such a prolonged and crucial part in international affairs or has been prepared to write about it so uninhibitedly."--The New York Times Book Review "An essential source for historians trying to come to terms with the late Soviet period.... A fascinating read."--Foreign Affairs "Impressive and important.... Dobrynin establishes in these pages that he is one of the great diplomats of modern history."--Washington Monthly "An amazing book.... A compelling historical account of the Cold War from Kennedy through Reagan.... Dobrynin's account teaches an important lesson."--Washington Post Book World United States Foreign relations 327.2 DOBC 0812923286 210928 20210928043122.0
