A great look at a complex subject

If you are a student of diplomatic history this is a must have for any collection. Rubinstein is an expert in international diplomacy of this region and he delivers a masterpiece with his work on the foreign policy of Russia. This goes back to the times of the huns and works its way through mostly the soviet era concluding with a little bit on the Russian Federation. The challenges of China and the efforts to control the Behring Strait are all see here. The book is well written and would make an excellent textbook in any Russian history class especially one focusing on the soviet era (really only the first three chapters are the non soviet sections). If you are doing any work on Soviet Diplomacy this is a great introduction and a wonderful book to have for research.
