Resentments of the Soviet Union Against the U.S.: Analyzing Historical Context

This book examines the complex relations between the Soviet Union and the United States, highlighting key events that fueled animosity. It discusses the U.S.'s delayed recognition of the Soviet government and Stalin's distrust stemming from delays in Allied invasions during WWII. The work also addresses the secrecy surrounding atomic bomb development. It is important to note omissions, such as U.S. support for counter-revolutionary forces post-1917 and the exclusion of the Soviets from post-WWI peace negotiations, which deepened divisions and distrust between the nations.
