Abstract: “Mission to Moscow is a report to the American people on the facts which enabled Mr. Davies to predict the Nazis-Soviet Pact, the outbreak of the war, the German attack on Russia, and the amazing resistance of the Red Army. In addition to telling a new story for the first time, Mission to Moscow tells this story in a new way. The book is made up entirely of confidential dispatches to the State Department, selections from diary and journal entries, and correspondence both official and personal.”
