Ivan Maisky was the Soviet ambassador to London from 1932-43, and his diaries offer a unique historical record of pivotal events, leading figures and a rich picture of daily life in the 1930s. Maisky himself is a fascinating figure, a man of integrity, independence, charm and brilliance, who somehow managed to survive Stalin’s wrath. Now available in paperback.
