Reconstructing Russia

"Reconstructing Russia focuses on the Wilson administration's efforts to counter German influence by providing economic support to Russian Siberia. The connection between those efforts and the Marshall Plan becomes even more significant at the close of the twentieth century as contemporary debates are waged over the issue of economic assistance to the former Soviet Union. Bacino places Wilson's Russian policy in a new light and examines it from a government-wide perspective.

He analyzes several significant issues and gives a fresh look at one of the most confusing episodes in Wilsonian foreign policy."--BOOK JACKET.
