This pamphlet was published by the BBC in 1943 as an introduction to its eight-part Home Service radio adaptation of Tolstoy’s War and Peace. It includes a three-page essay by E. M. Forster, alongside contributions from the Soviet ambassador Jean Maisky and the BBC producers Walter Peacock and Barbara Burnham. The booklet provides a synopsis of the novel, a list of characters, and details about the production, preparing listeners for the wartime broadcast that began the following year. For those interested in literary radio history and mid-century Anglo-Soviet cultural exchange, this guide remains a notable artifact.
