Dimitrov and Stalin, 1934-1943: Letters from the Soviet Archives (Annals of Communism Series) by Dallin, Professor Alexander. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780300080216.

This collection of over fifty top-secret letters are drawn from classified Soviet archives only recently opened to scholars. The letters offer unique insight into Soviet foreign policy and Stalins attitudes and intentions during the Great Terror of the 1930s and the years leading up to the Second World War. They confirm the dependence of Comintern on the Kremlin and Stalins role in shaping it. They also shed light on the confusion about policies toward foreign Communist parties and the effect this had on the history of the twentieth century.
