The Bullitt Mission to Russia / Testimony before the Committee on Foreign Relations, United States Senate, of William C. Bullitt

The author delivers sworn testimony and a self-report of a diplomatic mission to Soviet Russia, recounting orders received, meetings with Allied officials, and negotiations aimed at securing an armistice and relief shipments. He assesses military, political, economic, and social conditions inside Russia, outlines proposed peace terms and humanitarian distribution plans, and describes obstacles created by competing allied policies and resistance to conciliation. Appendices assemble correspondence, memoranda, rival statements, and reports from other observers, while the narrative records debates over policy, the fate of detained American personnel, and the suppression and political fallout surrounding his mission's recommendations.
