Воспоминания советского дипломата

The book tells about the stay of I.M. Maisky in England as the ambassador of the Soviet Union.
The author dwells on the main events of this period: the raid on ARCOS, the conclusion of a trade agreement between the USSR and England. Separate chapters are devoted to Chamberlain's pre-war policy, which led to Munich.
The author pays special attention to the relations between the Soviet Union and England during the war. Characteristics and portraits of public and political figures with whom I.M. Maisky happened to meet at that time are interesting: these are the Webba spouses, the famous English writer G. Wells, US President Roosevelt, G. Hopkins, W. Churchill, A. Eden, Lord Beaverbook and others.
In the final chapter, the author talks about the Crimean Conference of the Great Powers.
