In 1946, William Bullitt, the first U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet
Union, U.S. Ambassador to France at the outbreak of the Second
World War, and onetime close advisor to FDR, wrote the first
book-length, comprehensive analysis of the emerging Cold War
between the United States and the Soviet Union. During the war, as
the book's new introduction by Francis P. Sempa points out, Bullitt
had repeatedly urged President Roosevelt to wage war with a view
toward the postwar balance of power. Bullitt recounted in this
volume how the United States missed opportunities to block Soviet
geopolitical gains during the war due to a fundamental misreading
of the nature of the Soviet political system.Bullitt wrote The
Great Globe Itself from the perspective of a key advisor to
President Roosevelt who evolved into a strident critic of the
president's wartime diplomacy toward the Soviet Union. When Soviet
Russia became a wartime ally of the United States, Bullitt
understood that the alliance would last only until the common enemy
(Hitler's Germany) was defeated.Bullitt's discussion and analysis
of fundamental global geopolitical realities and his prudent
counsel to couple diplomacy with force in international relations
are as relevant today as when he wrote the book, nearly sixty years
ago.
