Adam Ulam is recognized among Jewish contributors to Philosophy & Social Sciences — Historian and Sovietologist; leading scholar of Soviet foreign policy and communism
Ulam was a leading Sovietologist and historian whose books on the Soviet Union, Bolshevism and Cold War foreign policy became standard references in the field. Born into a Polish Jewish family in Lwów — brother of the mathematician Stanisław Ulam — he emigrated shortly before the Second World War and spent his career at Harvard, where he directed the Russian Research Center. His works such as 'Expansion and Coexistence' and 'The Bolsheviks' shaped Western understanding of Soviet politics.
