This book offers a lively revisionist account of a crucial phase in
the life of Stafford Cripps: his meteoric rise from the radical
fringe of Parliament on the eve of the war to membership of the War
Cabinet in 1942. Cripps' ambassadorship to Moscow was of prime
importance in view of the dramatic events during this period - the
German conquest of Europe, Britain's struggle for survival and
Russia's transformation from neutral to belligerent. Dr Gorodetsky
assesses how Britain adapted to react to the changing circumstances
and examines the recurrent controversy between Cripps and Churchill
over Anglo-Soviet relations. New perspectives are opened on related
issues such as the role of the civil service in policymaking, the
British and Soviet appreciations of and reactions to intelligence
on the planned German invasion of the Soviet Union and the origins
of the controversies over assistance to Russia, the launching of
the Second Front and the frontier issues.
