In this second volume of Mr. Kennan's important history of Soviet-American relations from 1917 to 1920 the central theme is the progressive intervention of the Allied Powers in revolutionary Russia in the months after the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. As with the first volume, an extraordinarily complex story is developed with great skill, scholarship and reflective analysis.
