Russia's Greatest Enemy? - Harold Williams and the Russian Revolutions (Paperback)

A remarkably talented linguist, foreign correspondent in Russia from 1904 to 1921 and Foreign Editor for 'The Times', Russia's Greatest Enemy? traces the fascinating life and career of Harold Williams. This quiet and modest New Zealander played a central role in informing and influencing British opinion on Russia from the twilight of the Tsars, through War and Revolution, to the rise of the Soviet Union. The career of this keen Russophile and fierce opponent of Bolshevism illuminates the pre-First World War movement towards rapprochement with the Tsar, as well as the drive for intervention and isolation in the Soviet period. In this fascinating study, Charlotte Alston explores the role of Williams as Russia's interpreter to the British and the Britain's to Russia in this turbulent period in the history of both countries
