Decision-making during World War II has long been a key topic of study for diplomatic and military historians, not only because the consequences of those decisions continue to shape the world today, but also because of absences in the primary source record stemming from a variety of factors. The Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations noted, "One key absence has been Soviet documents, and The Kremlin Letters makes a vital contribution by bringing Soviet sources to light and making them available in English translation."
