Albert L. Weeks has been an expert on Soviet Russia for more than fifty years. Weeks has served as a journalist, policy analyst, and professor and is credited with coining the name Sputnik while working for Newsweek in 1957. His books include Stalin's Other War (Rowman & Littlefield, 2002).
Russia’s Life-Saver lifts the curtain on exactly how crucial U.S.
Lend-Lease aid was to the USSR's eventual success
against Germany in World War II. Until now, all we in the West
could really do was guess. We of course knew what we had
lent (the numerator) but we didn't know what the secretive Soviets
needed (the denominator). Using new evidence from
previously-closed Russian archives and new research by native
Russian historians, and offering gripping conclusions, Dr.
Weeks sets the record straight about this truly pivotal period of
twentieth-century history.
