Author Description

"This study explores the role of refugees in international relations. It does so by looking at Grand Alliance policies towards Ukrainian Second World War refugees, using newly available Soviet sources as well as Western ones. The book demonstrates how this episode had an impact on international refugee policy and provides new insight into the origins of the Cold War." "Using previously unavailable data from Soviet archives which expand our new understanding of the issues, Marta Dyczok demonstrates the importance of these events both for Ukrainian history and for the history of the development of refugee protection. In doing so the book depicts the breakdown of the Grand Alliance from a new angle."--Jacket.
