Alan H Smith, Alan Smith
`Alan Smith's new book gives an excellent account of an important
subject: Russia's attempt to integrate her economy into that of the
world at large... The book as a whole is sober, balanced and
informative... it summarises established knowledge and reviews
existing rival interpretations of the workings of the old Soviet
foreign trade system and their implications for Russia's future.
This Alan Smith does succinctly and well. There is also, however, a
story line based on Smith's own earlier work that gives the book a
thrust of its own. This is also convincingly done... this study
will be of considerable value to advanced students and to a
specialist readership.' - Professor Philip Hanson, Slavonic and
East European Review
`This book offers an interesting description of postwar trade
between the Soviet Union and non-communist world. Smith presents a
well documented account of imports of grain and macinery, and
exports of oil and arms.' - Bert Van Selm, University of Groningen
