Trade Review"'...one of the most important collections of 20th-century correspondence for a long time' Antony Beevor, The Times '...an indispensable tool for historians of the period...' Richard Overy, Literary Review 'This is a very important book of source and reference material which ought to stay in print for many years, and of enduring interest not only for scholarship about Stalin, but perhaps even more about Roosevelt.' John Lukacs 'My Dear Mr. Stalin is a fascinating historical collection of letters between the two most powerful men on earth - hence this is both highly important and vibrantly human. The result is a captivating book that will be obligatory for all scholars of the Grand Alliance and those interested in how the World War was won.' Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of Potemkin: Catherine the Great's Imperial Partner and Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar 'Susan Butler has dusted the cables down and presented the Stalin-Roosevelt correspondence as a full record... history is indebted to her.' Frances Stonor Saunders, The Guardian"
