Mao and the Sino–Soviet Partnership, 1945–1959 : A New History

Based on Chinese archival documents, interviews, and more than twenty years of research on the subject, Zhihua Shen and Yafeng Xia offer a comprehensive look at the Sino-Soviet alliance between the end of the World War II and 1959, when the alliance was left in disarray as a result of foreign and domestic policies.

This book is a reevaluation of the history of this alliance and is the first book published in English to examine it from a Chinese perspective.
