Description
In this compelling courtroom narrative, former diplomat William C. Bullitt steps before the Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee to recount his urgent mission to post‑war Russia. Listeners hear the procedural cadence of the hearing, the senators’ probing questions, and Bullitt’s own meticulous recollections of his journalistic roots, wartime State Department duties, and the sudden summons that sent him from Paris to the tumultuous front lines of Archangel.
The testimony unfolds as a vivid snapshot of 1919 diplomacy: Bullitt describes the tangled negotiations among the Allied powers, the stark economic and social conditions he observed, and the competing peace proposals that shaped the fledgling Soviet landscape. Through his measured, first‑hand account, the recording offers a rare window into the raw calculations, diplomatic friction, and human concerns that defined the early days of America’s engagement with Russia.
