"The United States is a country of machines. Without the use of
these machines through Lend-Lease, we would lose this war." Josef
Stalin (1943), quoted in W. Averell Harriman and Elie Abel, Special
Envoy to Churchill and Stalin, 1941-1946, Random House, N.Y., 1975,
p. 277 The United States shipped more than $12 billion in
Lend-Lease aid to Stalin's Russia during World War II. Materials
lent, beginning in late 1941 before the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor, included airplanes and tanks, locomotives and rails,
construction materials, entire military production assembly lines,
food and clothing, aviation fuel, and much else. Lend-Lease is now
recognized by post-Soviet Russian historians as essential to the
Soviet war effort. Wielding many facts and statistics never before
published in the U.S., author Albert L. Weeks keenly analyzes the
diplomatic rationale for and results of this assistance. Russia's
Life-Saver is a brilliant contribution to the study of U.S.-Soviet
relations and its role in World War II."
