Origins of the Cold War The Novikov, Kennan, and Roberts 'Long Telegrams' of 1946 With Three New Commentaries

In September 1946, the Soviet ambassador to the United States, Nikolai Novikov, sent a 19-page cable to Foreign Minister Molotov describing the likely direction of U.S. foreign policy in the postwar period. Recently discovered in the Soviet archives, the Novikov telegram parallels the famous "Long Telegram" of U.S. diplomat George Kennan. Published here for the first time in English, Novikov's telegram is presented alongside Kennan's cable and a similar telegram by British diplomat Frank Roberts.Jensen, Kenneth M. is the author of 'Origins of the Cold War The Novikov, Kennan, and Roberts 'Long Telegrams' of 1946 With Three New Commentaries', published 1993 under ISBN 9781878379276 and ISBN 1878379275.
