'A sheer delight...an important book, a rare example of how to fuse effectively diplomatic documents with the archives of mass communication. The theme of this book, the campaign to persuade British public opinion of the importance of the old Bolshevik enemy to the wartime survival of theBritish empire...is tackled with skill and insight.' History; '[the author] writes clearly and well, and handles his difficult theme more than competently, indeed with great skill.' Kleio
