Dr. Marcus Papadopoulos’ book makes an important contribution to our knowledge of Anglo-Soviet relations, by showing how the racial prejudices of the British military establishment towards Russians hindered the relationship between the Allies during and after the Second World War. Alessandro Barbero, Professor of History at the University of Eastern Piedmont.
A fascinating account - and cautionary tale - of Great Britain’s assessment of Soviet military capability both throughout the immediate pre-World War II years and the war itself, showing how misguided assumptions and outright prejudice can significantly cloud one’s view and set the stage for potentially disastrous high-stakes decisions. Both insightful and a wake-up call for all national security professionals. Russell E. Quirici, Colonel, U.S. Army (Retired).
In an important contribution to period scholarship, Dr. Papadopoulos shows how ethnocentric prejudices biased the British analysis of Soviet successes, capabilities, and intentions from 1934 to 1945. He provides convincing evidence for us to relook and question previously accepted reasons for the allied victory in Europe and the start of the Cold War.
Keith Donahoe, Colonel, U.S. Army (Retired).
