Review
This cool, imaginative and perceptive study of two centuries of American diplomats in Russia takes a neglected topic and gives it purpose and insight at three overlapping levels. (Christian Science Monitor)
The publication of David Mayers' The Ambassadors and America's Soviet Policy confirms this scholar's position at the fore of historians of US diplomacy ... Mayers brings the light of fresh documentation and sound judgement to his subject, in this case the neglected story of US representation in Moscow ... Mayers' treatment of Cold War diplomacy is invaluable ... this phrase in the Embassy's life has been poorly documented and served by scholarship. Mayers makes amends with painstaking references to newly declassified material and interviews with participants in the more recent events ... exemplary book. He has stood back from the cliches of Cold War historiography and thought afresh about an institution located at the core of that conflict. The resulting work is valuable both as history and as a salutary lesson for practitioners of diplomacy. (Diplomacy and Statecraft)
