About this title

Review

"Teachers of soviet foreign policy are faced with two daunting tasks that often seem mutually exclusive. . . .They have to compile reading lists that include well-known classics while doing justice to the vast number of new books and articles published annually on various aspects of the subject. At the same time . . . they have to ensure that their students read a balanced mix of sources. . . . The compendious anthologies which Hoffman, Laird and Fleron, in various editorial combinations, have compiled since 1971 have been an indispensible aid in making the two tasks compatible."
