'This work fills a gap in the existing literature as it deals less with the details of the Treaty of Rapallo (although these are obviously covered) and more with the secret negotiations that laid the basis for the treaty. It successfully achieves what it sets out to do, that is to demonstrate that secret and significant contacts between Germany and Soviet Russia occurred before 1920 (the date previously assumed to be the starting point for these negotiations)...This is a well written book that offers much detail about a fascinating period in European history. It is well argued and questions some of the more usual assumptions made about Rapallo.' - Jonathan Davis, Europe-Asia Studies
