Gusev, laid in (in English and Russian) Epilogue by Hans Morgenthau. Anatoly Andreyevich Gromyko (15 April 1932 - 25 September 2017) was a Soviet and R…ussian scientist and diplomat. He specialized in American and African studies as well as international relations, and was a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Union of Russian Artists. Gromyko was born in Barysaw, Soviet Union, in 1932, and between 1939 and 1948 lived in the United States, where his father Andrei Gromyko worked as the Soviet ambassador and representative in the United Nations. In 1954 he graduated from the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, and between 1961 and 1965 worked at the Soviet Embassy to the United Kingdom. After that he took leading positions at the Institute for African Studies and Institute for US and Canadian Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He then returned to diplomacy and acted as the Soviet deputy ambassador in the United States (1973-1974) and East Germany (1974-1975). Between 1976 and 1991 he headed the Institute for African Studies, where he continued working until 2010. From 2010 on he lectured at the Institute of International Security and at the Moscow State University. In 1981 he was elected to the Russian Academy of Sciences where he curated African studies. Gromyko co-authored more than 30 books and more than 300 journal articles. This book is the only officially published Russian assessment of the Kennedy Presidency and the historic events of that era. Derived from a Kirkus review: It comes as no surprise that Professor Anatolii Gromyko, a noted Russian "Americanist" (counterpart to our Kremlinologist) and son of Andrei Gromyko, the Soviet Minister of Foreign Affairs, holds that John F. Kennedy's foreign policy was "extremely contradictory," that the President's "concept of a 'strategy for peace' was greatly burdened by prejudices of the 'cold war' variety," that the Kennedy presidency represented or at least catered to the demands of American "imperialism" (i.e., "monopoly capital. . . the principal motive force of United States foreign policy"), and that JFK careened, "like President Eisenhower before him, from one crisis to another in the conduct of foreign policy." Indeed, some of our own historians, most notably Richard J. Walton, have been saying-much the same. Nor will the reader be left agape upon learning that the USSR consistently championed the cause of world peace, only to be rebuffed by U.S. threats, hypocrisy, perfidy, militarization, brinksmanship, and aggression. Gromyko begins his detailed analysis of Kennedy's thousand days with the President's murder and then proceeds through the Kennedy political rise to power, the Bay of Pigs invasion, the Vienna meeting with "the head of the Soviet government" (Khrushchev is never once mentioned by name), the Berlin crisis, the fateful "Caribbean" (i.e., Cuban) crisis, and the escalation of the Vietnam involvement. In the last year of his administration, Kennedy began to shift toward peace -- the nuclear test ban treaty, the space agreements, the American University speech -- and these "new foreign policy tendencies" ultimately led to his killing in Dallas, Gromyko postulates. Completed in 1968 and published in the USSR in 1971, this American edition contains a new author introduction (emphasizing the improved relations between the two countries during recent years), plus an epilogue by Hans Morgenthau. An important addition to the Kennedy literature.
