Pro-Soviet Items
26. W. P. Coates and Zelda K. Coates, The
Soviet-Finnish Campaign: Military and Political, 1939-1940 (London:

of the war.

Baltic Focus
30. Gregory Meiksins, The Baltic Riddle:
Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania—Key-Points of European Peace (New
York: L. B. Fischer, 1943), 271 pp. Not quite pro-Soviet, but takes a
permissive view of Russian aims and a skeptical view of the Baltics' policies.

of the Baltic States: A Report Compiled from Official Documents and Eyewitnesses'
Stories (London: Hollis and Carter, 1952), 216 pp.

the Baltic States, 1918-1940 (South Bend, Ind.: University of Notre
Dame Press, 1959), 276 pp. Abominable footnotes: a thicket of inaccessible
op. cit's. Draws heavily from the 1954 hearings of the U.S. House Select
Committee on Communist Aggression.
World Political Focus
33. Harold Lavine and James Wechsler, War
Propaganda and the United States (New Haven, Conn.: Yale University
Press, for the Institute for Propaganda Analysis, 1940), 363 pp.

from the Archives of the German Foreign Office, eds. Raymond J. Sontag
and James S. Beddie (Washington, D.C.: Department of State, GPO, 1948),
362 pp. Cold-war effort to put some diplomatic egg on Russia's face, much
of it well-deserved. On p. 240 appears the critical passage citing Molotov's
query to Hitler, November 13, 1940, about Russia taking over Finland in
toto, "on the same scale as in Bessarabia," from a memorandum by Hitler's
interpreter Paul Schmidt (see 36).
36. Paul Schmidt, Hitler's Interpreter,
ed. R. H. C. Steed (London: Heinemann, 1951), 286 pp. Schmidt was the
note-taking witness on November 13, 1940, when Molotov let the cat out
of the bag regarding Moscow's wish to absorb Finland. This work, on p.
217, covers similar ground to Schmidt's memo cited in 35 above, without
the "Bessarabia" remark. "Final settlement of the Finnish question" is
the locution.

War (Washington, D.C.: Public Affairs Press, 1960), 103 pp.

(New York: Oxford University Press, 1965), 708 pp.
41. Douglas Clark, Three Days to Catastrophe
(London: Hammond, 1966), 228 pp. Like Jakobson (6), a nonfiction thriller
marbled with dry humor.
42. U.S. Department of State, Finland-USSR
Boundary (International Boundary Study No. 74, Office of the Geographer,
(February I, 1967), 19 pp. Includes background commentary and texts of
boundary protocols since 1940; plus a small-scale map, 1/3.5 million, of
no great usefulness.
