| Summary |
"The Bullitt Mission to Russia" by William C. Bullitt is a historical account written in the early 20th century, detailing a significant diplomatic mission following World War I. The book presents an exploration of the tumultuous political and social landscape of post-revolutionary Russia through the eyes of Bullitt, who was tasked with studying and reporting on the conditions in the country amid the shifting tides of international relations and the emergent Soviet government. The opening of the text introduces Bullitt as he prepares to testify before the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations regarding his mission to Russia, which he undertook to aid in the peace negotiations after the war. As he recounts his credentials and previous work as a correspondent, Bullitt describes the circumstances that led to his appointment and emphasizes the urgency of understanding the chaotic situation in Russia. The proceedings set the stage for an in-depth analysis of the various factions within Russia, the economic struggles exacerbated by war and blockade, and the critical decisions that shaped the efforts of the Allied powers in responding to the Bolshevik regime. This introduction effectively situates the reader in a historical moment filled with both diplomatic intrigue and the weighty consequences of decisions that would impact the global landscape for decades to come.
