At the end of World War I the British government found itself
deeply mired in a Russian civil war aimed at destroying the infant
Bolshevik regime. A year later this effort was in shambles despite
massive assistance from abroad. Anti-Bolshevik forces were in
retreat and soon were completely annihilated. During 1919 the
British government concluded that the costs of bringing down
Bolshevism in Russia were prohibitively high. This book is an
account of how this conclusion was reached, and of the conflict
over Russian policy between David Lloyd George and Winston
Churchill. Richard H. Ullman is Associate Professor of Politics and
International Affairs, Princeton University. Published for the
Center of International Studies, Princeton University. Originally
published in 1968. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest

In February 1920 the civil war that had ravaged Russia in the wake
of the Bolshevik seizure of power was all but over, and with it the
attempt of foreign governments to intervene on behlf of the
anti-Communist forces. The government most deeply involved in this
intervention was that of Great Britain. Yet scarcely a year later
Britain was the first major power to come to terms with the new
leadership in Moscow. Richard H. Ullman's account of that cautious
coming to terms offers a perspective on the processes by which
British foreign policy adjusted to the drastically changed
circumstances of the aftermath of World War I. Another important
theme is the way in which British policy, and the conceptions of
peace and security that underlay it, diverged from that of
Britain's closest ally, France. The book is, as well, a
contribution of the growing literature on bureaucractic politics
and the politics of foreign-policy making, and is a protracted
essay on the statecraft and political style of David Lloyd George.
It draws on many new sources, among them the interecepted and
deciphered telegrams of the Soviet mission in London. Richard H.
Ullman is Professor of Politics and International Affairs at
Princeton University. The Anglo-Soviet Accord is the third and
final volume of his Anglo-Soviet Relations, 1917-1921. Originally

Directorial debut of Bill Forsyth following four unemployed
Glaswegian teenagers in the 1970s. When Ronnie (Robert Buchanan)
discovers that stainless steel sinks are worth a lot of money, he
recruits friends Wal (Billy Greenlees), Alec (Allan Love) and Vic
(John Hughes) to help him steal 90 of them from a nearby warehouse.
The leader of the gang hatches a complex scheme that requires Vic
and Wal to dress up as girls and use a sleeping potion, concocted
by chemistry expert Bobby (Derek Millar), to borrow a bakery
delivery truck for their cunning getaway. With Ronnie at the helm,
can the friends pull off the heist and obtain their small fortune?
