Reviews
'Foglesong's expose of Americans' 'heady sense of their country's unique blessings' helps make sense of the giddiness, followed by rank disillusionment, vis-a-vis the post-Soviet Russia of the 1990s and 2000s.' Stephen Kotkin, Prospect Magazine
'The author's singular achievements is to show that well before the cold war, Russia served as America's dark double, an object of wishful thinking condescension and self-righteousness in a quest for American purpose. ...' Prospect Magazine
'Beautifully written and well argued, the book is suitable for use in upper-class electives and graduate courses and should be of interest to specialists on both sides of the field (US and Soviet).' History
