Preface  "The Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace takes pride in publishing the fourth and final volume of A Catalog of Files and Microfilms of the German Foreign Ministry Archives, 1920-1945 and thus completing a cooperative publication venture with the U.S. Department of State.  "The availability of new materials, specifically the files from various German missions and consulates in Europe as well as from some of the overseas offices, necessitated publication of this additional volume. The documents listed here supplement and complement the files of the political archives at the German Foreign Ministry (Politisches Archiv des Auswartigen Amtes) for the period 1920-1945.  "Members of the scholarly community who are interested in recent German and European history again owe a great debt to Dr. George O. Kent, not only for his painstaking work in compiling this last volume but for the unflagging enthusiasm and perseverance he brought to the ten-year task of preparing al four volumes of this superb reference tool."  --Richard F. Starr, Associate Director at Hoover Institution

This collection graphically demonstrates the native African's struggle for peace,  freedom, and equality in his native land. The Treason Trial, held from  1956 to 1961, the Mandela Trial of 1962, and the Rivonia Trial of  1963-1964 give depth and scope to the contemporary events in South  Africa. Important events like the trials clearly illustrate the  relevance of the South Africa's late nineteenth and early  twentieth-century history to the existing political situation in that  country today.

In 1921 one of the most devastating famines in history threatened the lives of millions of Russians as well as the continuance of Soviet rule. Responding to a plea for help from the Soviet government. the American Relief Administration (ARA) agreed to provide famine relief in the stricken areas. The ARA was a private relief organization headed by Herbert Hoover, then U.S. secretary of commerce and one of the best-known Americans of his time for his spectacular success in rescuing the population of Belgium from starvation during World War I and in feeding millions of Europeans during the Armistice. Hoover was also a retired capitalist of considerable wealth, a champion of Republican liberalism, and a leading opponent of recognition of Soviet Russia. Lenin—head of the Sovet government, leader of the Bolshevik party, and living symbol of world revolution—was the antithesis of the ARA's chief. This book studies the personalities, motives, and modi operandi of these two celebrated figures, both as indivduals and as representatives of their societies. At the same time it considers the relief mission itself, which has been the subject of continuing controversy for fifty years. Its partisans see it as a charitable, nonpolitical enterprise, while its enemies judge it an anti-Soviet intervention entirely devoid of humanitarian purpose. Herbert Hoover and Famine Relief for Soviet Russia is the first major attempt by an American scholar to reexamine the ARA mission, on the basis of much material made available since the ARA's 1927 official history. What emerges is, on the one hand, a painstaking examination of the historical details of ARA's mission and, on the other hand, a philosophic essay relating the ARA to broader questions of U.S.-Soviet relations the ideological antitheses of Hoover and Lenin. The author concludes that both sides overcame their ideological antagonisms and made possible a spectacularly successful relief mission that inspired the vain hope that a new era in Soviet-American relations had begun.

Preface to the book This paper was prepared as a contribution to the panel on "Theories on Modern Revolution and Violence" at the Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association, New York, September 4-7, 1963. I want to thank Professor Sheldon Wolin, chairman of the panel, and Professor Ernst Haas, both of whom read and criticized the first draft. I would also like to acknowledge the contribution of my students in the graduate seminar on revolutionary strategy at Berkeley, where these ideas were first expounded and explored. The framework for analyzing revolutions offered here is an outline for a larger study of revolution now in progress. I welcome critical comments on this formulation from interested readers.
