Llewellyn Thompson was arguably the most influential figure who ever advised U.S. presidents about policy toward the Soviet Union during the Cold War, yet until 2018 no book-length biography of him had appeared. Fortunately, a stellar biography was published last year, and it is the subject of this book forum. Thompson's two daughters, Jenny and Sherry, wrote the book after carrying out extensive archival research. The finished book is both absorbing and illuminating, a book worthy of Thompson. Five experts offer commentaries on various aspects of the book, followed by a reply from Thompson's daughters.

冷战顾问：卢埃林·汤普森与美国对苏联政策的制定

卢埃林·汤普森可以说是冷战期间曾就对苏联政策向美国总统提供建议的最有影响力的人物，但直到 2018 年，还没有出现过他的书长传记。幸运的是，去年出版了一本出色的传记，它是本书论坛的主题。汤普森的两个女儿珍妮和雪莉在进行了广泛的档案研究后撰写了这本书。完成的书既引人入胜又富有启发性，值得汤普森（Thompson）阅读。五位专家对本书的各个方面进行了评论，然后是汤普森的女儿们的回复。
