Trade Review
“Gabriel Gorodetsky’s edition [of the diaries] — abridged and unabridged — is a work for the ages.”—Niall Ferguson, The New York Times Book Review, “By the Book” column

“This three-volume work reprints Gorodetsky’s introduction and conclusion, with occasional revisions, and adds useful historiographical or contextual endnotes and a bibliography”– Michael Jabara Carley, The Slavonic and East European Review

“[A] gripping read...Not only do they take the reader through the momentous and fateful years between 1932 and 1943 when Ivan Maisky was Ambassador to the British Court St James’s, but they demand our attention with a new perspective on the whole period.”—Anne Deighton, H-Diplo Roundtable [Journal]
