George Alexander Lensen (1923-1979) was an Author, instructor, researcher who was born in Berlin of Russian parents. He was educated in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. He became a naturalized American citizen in 1943, and served in Army Intelligence in the Far East during World War II. He joined the Florida State University's History faculty in 1949 as an instructor and received his Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1951. He returned to Japan in 1953-1954 as a Fulbright Research Scholar and in 1967-1968 as a Senior Fellow of the National Endowment for the Humanities. He taught Russian and Japanese History and authored 19 books on these subjects as well. He later began his own press, the Diplomatic Press, and published at least 14 books by various authors on subjects of Russian and Japanese diplomacy. The author has tried to reconstruct the story of Soviet-Japanese relations during the Second World War as it actually unfolded at the time, rather than as it appeared through the prism of later events. The author sought to tread a factual path, leaving his own reflections to a separate chapter. This is the first work to focus on the wartime dealings of Japan and the U.S.S.R. which maintained a strange neutrality between 1941 and 1945, while their allies were fighting each other and they themselves were at war with each other's allies.
