William Slater was an Australian politician and lawyer who founded the law firm Slater and Gordon.
During World War 2 he was appointed as the first Australian Ambassador to Russia.

In this diary he describes his remarkable eight-week journey to Russia through the US, Africa and the Middle East. He shows great prescience into the problems that were to develop in Palestine and also meets the new Shah of Iran.
In the USSR he struggles to establish a working relationship with a suspicious Soviet Regime, finding it difficult to obtain any useful information. Eventually, ill health forces him to abandon his post, much to the displeasure of Australian Foreign Minister Herbert "Doc" Evatt. Again he describes his return journey back to Australia, giving many examples of the enormous contrast between life in the USA and USSR at that time.

This diary provides a first hand account of many of the themes of the first half of the Twentieth Century, with its wars of enormous destruction and political and ideological struggles. It is also the story of the fight to establish a socialist society and the disillusionment caused by the actions of the Soviet Regime. Most of all it is the story of a truly remarkable Australian statesman.
