History and politics

The book is a collection of selected works by the famous domestic Americanist Honorary Professor MGIMO, Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation Vladimir Olegovich Pidnov. It collects the best of what was created by the author in small forms for a half -century creative life in science. The reader will find here bright psychological portraits of famous diplomats and political leaders, brilliant historical miniatures and deep research articles on a wide range of problems of the history of the USA and international relations of the Cold War period. All these works are united by high historicism, based on careful work with documents from the archives of Russia, the USA and Great Britain. Some of these works were published in small publications or abroad and turned out to be inaccessible to the Russian reader. Some of them are supplemented by the author with new documents specifically for this publication.
The book is intended not only for international specialists, but also for all those interested in the history of the United States and international relations
