The orthodox view of Vyacheslav Molotov is that he was no more than Stalin's faithful servant; a dogmatic conservative communist of little or no imagination. In this engaging biography, Geoffrey Roberts proposes a radical reappraisal of Molotov's life and career. He argues that although as Soviet foreign minister from 1939 Molotov was Stalin's cold warrior, his personal preference was for d#65533;tente and peaceful coexistence with the West.
