Title: Russia's life-saver
Subtitle: lend-lease aid to the U.S.S.R. in World War II
Description: "The United States shipped more than $12 billion in lend-lease aid to Stalin's Russia during World War II. Materials lent, beginning in late 1941 before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, included airplanes and tanks, locomotives and rails, construction materials, entire military production assembly lines, food and clothing, aviation fuel, and much else. Lend-lease is now recognized by post-Soviet Russian historians as essential to the Soviet war effort. Wielding many facts and statistics never before published in the United States, Albert L. Weeks keenly analyzes the diplomatic rationale for and results of this assistance"--Page 4 of cover.
