An analysis and critical commentary on the general approach of American foreign policy toward Soviet Russia during the formative years of the Cold War.

At the same time, Whitcomb points to the incompatability between many of the nation's most cherished values and the habits of action that Americans exhibited in their relationships with other states. An important post-revisionist view, this book will be of interest to American foreign policy for scholars and students alike.
