From the response to the 1917 Revolution, through military intervention in the Civil War, alliance in World War II and forty years of nuclear confrontation to the final collapse of the Soviet empire, British Governments struggled to find a satisfactory basis for relations with the Soviet state. A former British Ambassador to Moscow analyses the course of that unique relationship, sets it against the background of relations with Imperial Russia and examines the prospects for the years ahead.

SIR CURTIS KEEBLE'S career in the British Diplomatic Service comprised a wide range of overseas appointments, including Berlin and Washington, as well as an appointment as Deputy Under Secretary of State in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. He was appointed Ambassador in Moscow in 1978. After retirement in 1982 he was appointed a Governor of the BBC. In 1990 he published Britain and the Soviet Union 1917-1989, and in 1999 Macmillan and the Soviet Union.
