Making common cause

Mehr zum Buch

Using German and previously closed or underutilized Soviet archives, this work brings to date the historiography of one of the most important aspects of twentieth-century international relations: the steps by which Germany and Soviet Russia, the two pariah states of the First World War, would find common ground and establish a relationship whose impact would be felt through the Second World War. It focuses especially on the earliest secret contacts between the German military and the fledgling Soviet regime.
