1 Tunkin’s focus on Western, rather than Marxist, sources is apparent in the four lectures that are included in the book under Review.

2 In his diary entry for October 10, 1965, he tells Ajoke about Gromyko that I read as Tunkin’s subtle way of criticism of the man for whom he certainly did not have much respect. It was often Tunkin’s wife, Itta Efimovna, who, during our five o’clock teas, having finished working on some paper, expressed what obviously for me Tunkin himself thought about some Soviet leaders. Tunkin’s comment usually was: “Itta, you are exaggerating.”
