Description
ENG:This document describes the book Soviet-American Cultural Diplomacy: The American Debut of the Bolshoi Theater by Kadra Peterson McDaniel. The book is a study of the 1959 Bolshoi Ballet tour in the US as a tool of Soviet foreign policy.

Kadra Peterson McDaniel is an Associate Professor of History and Coordinator of the Art History Master's Program at Texas A&M University, specializing in Russian foreign policy and culture.
