Lieutenant-General Sir Giffard Martel was head of the British Military Mission to Moscow during the most crucial part of the second world war; in this volume he reveals the difficulties encountered by the British Military Mission in liaising with Russian military authorities and also of the life he witness in soviet Moscow. More than a contemporary military critic, it is also a study of the soviet citizen and the Russian outlook under the Communist regime.
