The letters illuminate the Big Three in novel ways – especially Stalin’s growing skill as a diplomatist and Churchill’s remarkable blind spot about the Soviet dictator. In the era of Facebook and Twitter, the essential art of communicating across cultures is becoming increasingly important – Reynolds’s findings challenge us to learn some key lessons from history.
With thanks to the British Academy.
