Bridges of Faith
This article addresses how exchanges between American and Soviet Christians in the 1980s challenged images of the Soviet Union as a land of godless communism. Focusing on the New England-based group Bridges for Peace, which was organized in 1981 by members of the United Church of Christ, the article shows that, in the first half of the decade, highly publicized visits by Soviet Christians to US cities and towns both provoked intense confrontation…
In Kennan’s Shadow
through the beginning of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine in 2022 (p.127).After serving as Deputy Secretary of State during the first three years of the first Donald Trump administration, Sullivan prepared to take over the ambassadorship in Moscow by re-reading George F
The politics of recognition
This article will analyze how Ukrainians and Ukrainian-Americans sought diplomatic recognition of Ukraine by the United States between 1917 and 1941. It will explain why the U.S. government, despite its commitments to the principle of self-determination, did not recognize Ukrainian independence and why it extended diplomatic recognition to the Soviet Union in 1933 despite protests by Ukrainian- Americans about the terrible famine of 1932- 1933. D…
Patrons, Partners, and Proxies in Political Warfare
The history of U.S. collaboration with Russian exiles in opposition to governments in Russia and the Soviet Union is long. In the late nineteenth century (to cite the first of several instances), journalist George Kennan and other U.S. activists worked with Russian exiles to launch a movement for a “free Russia” that publicized political, religious, and ethnic repression in the tsarist empire.1 After the Bolshevik-led revolution of October 1917, …

Manipulating the Masses
In this massive, extensively researched, and engagingly written book, John Maxwell Hamilton presents an exceedingly detailed examination of how President Woodrow Wilson's administration “revolutionized” relations between the U.S. government and the press (p. 126). This was not an early phase in the development of a benign republic of spin, according to Hamilton, but rather the birth of an “Information State” that is “a profound and enduring threa…
From Moses to Edward Snowden
This massive book reflects more than five decades of research and writing on intelligence agencies and international relations by Christopher Andrew, an emeritus professor of history at the University of Cambridge. Building upon his many previous books about British, American, and Soviet intelligence agencies, in The Secret World Andrew presents a history of intelligence from the men Moses sent “to spy out the land of Canaan” to the revelations a…
Covert Regime Change
In this well-researched and clearly written book, Lindsay A. O'Rourke, a professor of political science at Boston College, vigorously argues that during the Cold War U.S. officials repeatedly launched covert interventions in foreign countries, even though most of the operations failed to effect regime changes, because the officials saw them as cheap ways to enhance U.S. security and power. Drawing on a wide reading in secondary sources supplement…

The United States, self-determination and the struggle against Bolshevism in the Eastern Baltic region, 1918–1920
Three times in the twentieth century the recession and reassertion of Russian and Soviet power along the Baltic Sea have weighed the balance between American idealistic principles and United States strategic interests, between devotion to the rights of small nations and attention to the needs of great powers. While scholarly surveys of the Baltic states in international affairs have noted some contradictions and compromises in American decision-m…
